One could go and try to establish some shop standards. Like
/tmp/jobs
and then an individual job would be
/tmp/jobs/######.XXXXXXXXXX.YYYYYYYYYY
where the ###... is a directory made of the job number.user.name.
A purge program could purge the individual job directory if the job is no
longer active.
Not that we do anything like this. We just delete everything in the /tmp
directory after we've brought the system down into restricted state. (Once
a quarter.)
