Interface: mkdtemp ( in file pbs_dshutils.py)

Visibility: public

change control: stable

Motivation for change: Currently, mkdtemp is not working as how it should work when user is trying to create a directory as another user. It creates the directory and do a chown to the specified user. However, it may fail as only root can run chown. We also need to make this interface consistent with create_temp_file().

Summary: Create a temp dir by calling "tempfile.mkdtemp"

Proposed Interface: def create_temp_dir(self, hostname=None, suffix=' ', prefix='PtlPbs', dir=None,
asuser=None,asgroup=None, mode=None, level=logging.INFOCLI2)

• hostname: the hostname on which to query tempdir from (Default: localhost)
• suffix: the directory name will end with this suffix (Default: None)
• prefix: the directory name will begin with this prefix (Default: PtlPbs)
• dir: the directory will be created in this directory (Default: None)
• asuser : create the file as specified user (Default: current user)
• asgroup: optional group name of group owner (Default: None)
• mode: Optional mode bits to assign to the temporary directory(Default: None)
• level: logging level ( Defaults :INFOCLI2)

Existing interface: def mkdtemp(self, hostname=None, suffix=' ', prefix='PtlPbs', dir=None,
uid=None, gid=None, mode=None, level=logging.INFOCLI2)

• hostname: the hostname on which to query tempdir from (Default: localhost)
• suffix: the directory name will end with this suffix (Default: None)
• prefix: the directory name will begin with this prefix (Default: PtlPbs)
• dir: the directory will be created in this directory (Default: None)
• uid: Optional username or uid of temp directory owner (Default: None)
• gid: Optional group name or gid of temp directory group owner (Default: None)
• mode: Optional mode bits to assign to the temporary directory (Default: None)
• level: logging level (Defaults: INFOCLI2)
