Subject: bin/mdw-editor: Set TMPDIR from TMP if it's unset.
X-Git-Url: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~mdw/git/profile/commitdiff_plain/6f75a47e1fda9f8c718d0193b9f18ff1b73a1952?ds=sidebyside

bin/mdw-editor: Set TMPDIR from TMP if it's unset.

Setuid programs drop the TMPDIR environment variable.  This means that
emacsclient can't find the correct socket directory if it's started via
`sudo -e', which is annoying.  Fortunately, we have a copy of the
correct directory lying around, so we can use it to fix things up.
