systemd-tmpfiles : avoiding collisions
by genese from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4ZBFE)
Hello All,
I need a temporary directory in /run.
I'm going to create a foo.conf file in /etc/tmpfiles.d with the following content
Code:d /run/bar 0755 user groupHow do I make sure that /run/bar is not defined in another .conf (in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d or elsewhere) ?
Is there an alternative to grep ?
If one day I install a new package which defines /run/bar in its .conf, the conflict will be reported in the logs, but I must confess that I don't read the logs at each reboot.
So something will break (either my scripts or the package, I didn't read the doc enough to tell it), with possible loss of data or DOS.
Is there any naming convention that solves this problem ?
TIA for any help.
