You need a file to remain visible, as in: test for the existence of or list with ls.
But no other process can read or write the file. Then at process exit the file is unlinked and gone forever.

1. each directory in the path the file lives in has to be other execute (world execute)
2. process opens the file, calls flock to gain exclusive read/write. If the processes that need to "see" the file are created by other usernames, open() allows you to set protections like 7-0-0 which means only the given user (or root) can do anything to the file
3. When process is done unlink the file and process exits.
