I want to create many unique filename from my ksh program.

What would be the easiest way to accomplish this?

Should I just use something like TEMP_${RANDOM} or is there something
similar to mktemp or tmpnam in ksh?

Thanks,

#!/bin/ksh -u
mkUniq() {
set x `print /tmp/tmp.XXX.$RANDOM`
shift
while [[ -e $1 ]];do
set x `print /tmp/tmp.XXX.$RANDOM`
shift
done
print $1

Quote:}

# call it to get the unique filename
mkUniq

generate unique filename in ksh on AIX
