I suggest you ...

have PID-less script softlinks in temp/

Whenever a new script is written by bitbake in temp/ (such as run.do_compile.11455), create or update a softlink (run.do_compile) that does not have the PID suffix.

Prevents you from finding the latest script during code development/debug cycles in the WORKDIR sources. Especially when you mix running the scripts with running bitbake this becomes hasslesome without a softlink.

    This is a great idea, in my opinion. I’m certain I’m not the only one to run a ls —sort=time —reverse | head -n 1 to grab the latest log, or to do a -c clean and rebuild of the thing just to clean out the temp dir :)
