Re: temp file not deleted with webmin?

[Tony S. <tsh...@st...>]

This isn't so much a fix as a bandaid, but if the temp file is supposed to
be removed right at the end of the program, why not do this:

open(OUTPUT, "/usr/local/execute/fire 2>&1 |");
while(<OUTPUT>) {
print;
}
close(OUTPUT);
unlink $tempfile;

$tempfile is of course a string containing the absolute path to your
tempfile.  Doesn't explain the behavior, but it temporarily fixes the
problem.
