Accidentally deleted tmp folder

Question

i was trying to run

sudo rm -r ./tmp

but instead typed

sudo rm -r /tmp

Will it be fixed by running?

sudo mkdir /tmp

if i do what permissions should i give it?

ps: i didnt log out of my system yet

Answer 1

I can't think of a reason why this shouldn't work. On my system, the permissions are set by:

sudo chmod 1777 /tmp

(drwxrwxrwxt)

Answer 2

You should run the following commands to restore the tmp folder.

sudo -i
# You now have a root prompt and do not need to continue typing sudo
mkdir /tmp
chmod 1777 /tmp
exit

Then you sould be all good
