Don't do that. If your app crashes, you leave a real mess. That's what
MS Word does on Windows, I always have to delete 10+ .tmp-files in the
document's folder.
There's a place on Mac OS X for temporary files, it's called /tmp. It's
automatically cleaned up during the boot process.
And for your log-files, you have to decide if they're important after a
reboot. Keep in mind that they might add up to hundreds of megabytes
over a longer period of time.
