Even if the $tmpdir exists, it may not be the one created by the script. I guess it could check to see if it is not a symlink. (But I think the trap should just be done after it is safely created.) And the "rm -f $tmpdir/*" cleanup potentially can happen before the script safely attempts to create its own tmpdir. Jeremy C.
