In this case, I decided to look at where the script places files

these files are supposed to land in /root/ as $HOME is set there.) I
figured Principle of Least Surprise should keep it there.
I could set UMASK or something but during a code freeze I would like
to keep changes to least amount as I am not sure if UMASK is going to
be honoured all the way through the program or if setting UMASK would
break items. After the freeze these would be useful items to
implement.
I hope that helps explain the reasoning which should have been a
comment somewhere.
It would be nice to have a way to disable these, but perhaps until
then, we could put them in /root/retries/ or something and purge that
directory from time to time?
