i'd say this is correct behavior ... you dont normally want things executed in

/tmp as that is for world writable temporary files, not executable files

--- Mingquan Pan 2008-03-27 22:15:39

However, the toolchain test framework dejagnu it is defaultly set the folder to

run testcase in /tmp.

like in: /usr/share/dejagnu/remote.exp

set remotefile "/tmp/[file tail $prog].[pid]".

Isn't it also running on other platforms to put executable under /tmp?

And it would be easier to change the permission of /tmp ,rather than fixing in

dejagnu, there are quite a few places to use /tmp directory in it.

it depends on the system, but it is common for /tmp to not be executable. that

directory is meant for temporary storage of data files, not executables.

for our systems, we can add exec support back to /tmp since it sounds like many

of our scripts assume it.

Added it back. Close.
