Ken,
sorry, as i'm sure this has been discussed ad-infinitum.

why not fork(), fork(), [exec() in child], wait(), unlink()?
i.e., wait for the viewer, whatever, to exit, then unlink(), exit().
(all while the main, parent process, goes back to its thing.)
i can imagine some "viewers" never exit.
cheers, Greg
