This is a very valid concern -- if the process dies unexpectedly I'd leave the file replaced and the original in some temporary directory. Not sure if there's a way around that, probably not. Your algorithm doesn't take SIGKILL, SIGSEV or server crash into account. I don't see a chance to compensate for these problems. How about you fix the 3rd party code instead? -1 for addition of broken code.

Duly noted :-)

It's simple enough and works well in my narrow context, so I'll just keep it to myself.

Cheers,
