I'm used to Debian-based distros which have a tempfile(1) utility for safely and sanely creating temporary files.
There isn't a comperable utility for RHEL/CentOS systems.
I've been exercising Google-fu looking for a good robust tempfile generation idiom, but haven't turned one up yet.
Hence this appeal to the lazyweb.

Sure there is. mktemp; contained within the package with the same name.
