I think this line should use mktemp as well, to be a tad more safe: https://github.com/alcover/runc/blob/master/runc#L109

What Hacker News says
3 sourcesThis looks fun. I can't imagine it being directly useful but the idea itself is fun.
Couple of immediate issues with the repo:
- Sample output in the README should not be prefixed with a "$". That's only for the shell command prompt.
- Use ``` blocks in your README file. It's easier to format multi-line text.
- Don't use $RANDOM, it's not secure. Use mktemp: https://github.com/alcover/runc/blob/73aaecea5a4cd357f7172dd...
- Don't exit with success if the command failed: https://github.com/alcover/runc/blob/73aaecea5a4cd357f7172dd...
- Use Bash strict mode: http://redsymbol.net/articles/unofficial-bash-strict-mode/
