killing the process
Hi,
First, I am running a scipt.While the script is running I realize that I dont want the script to be run so I am killing the script externally.Before the process gets terminated or killed it should delete all the temporary files created by the script.How to do this?Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Best you give the process a chance to do this and kill it with a "normal" kill or kill -15 (ie. SIGTERM) which is the same.
Do not use a kill -9, because it will be so hard, that it will have no chance to clean up anything. You might have IPCs left and such stuff. kill -9 should onl y be used, if it still lives on after you have sent a normal kill to it. And if it's still there after a kill -9, you got a zombie and should reboot next time you get a chance to.
