creating a permanent folder in /tmp/ of ubuntu 10.04

Question

how to create a permanent folder in the temporary folder in ubuntu? without being deleted when the computer shuts down, and not have to repeat the process every time the computer restarts

Answer 1

By convention, /tmp/ gets cleaned on reboot. You may need to place stateful information into /var/run/$myapp/ or a similar spot. Make sure you clean that once it grows.
