Description Daniel Walsh 2012-01-17 15:16:53 UTC 
I would like to propose using PrivateTmp for apcupsd, to make it more secure
and avoid users from being able to potentially effect it.

Michal, any chance this command does bash redirection?

command << _EOF
...
_EOF

This is here-document. Anything between command and _EOF will be put on command's stdin

Right and the way this is implemented in Bash is with temporary files in /tmp.
