SubjectRe: [RFC] lttngtrace available to non-root
Here is an updated version taking care of /tmp file creation races. Thanks to
Frank Ch. Eigler for pointing this out.

A small note: pending a large change in LTTng that will allow arming tracepoints
on a per-session basis, the current version of the script cannot be run in
multiple instances concurrently (interaction between the multiple
ltt-armall/ltt-disarmall). I'm also thinking to use mktemp for the next version
to create a temporary file rather than the hardcoded file I'm using now. I could
save the information about the last file name used in the user's home directory.

Thanks,

Mathieu
