Description

If the tool is run as user A, it creates /tmp/logs/archive-logs-work for temp work, but doesn't delete it. When it's run again as user B, you can run into permissions problems on /tmp/logs/archive-logs-work because user B doesn't have permission to do anything to that dir (it's 700). We should have the tool delete /tmp/logs/archive-logs-work when exiting.
