This interesting solution would still be an option for some
specific cases of manually configured CGI handlers. It is possibly
not a mainstream JHP for temp folder complication, but to
allow integration these considerations may help:
- the command-line parameters to JHP should be the same as
called with regular JHP handler (there is no need to pass
env vars to command line since they are inherited anyway)
- the indication that stdin is redirected to a file by
means of an environment variable, such that, if set will
indicate JHP to read from that file instead of stdin
Note #! J scripts are not easily portable (at least
require additional configuration). Looking at other
scripting languages, it's perfectly OK to use command-line
in the form
[prefix/]jconsole script_location args ...
Where [prefix/] is plaform specific invokation-level
issue, as opposed to script content, which remains
platform independent.
JHP is script-level portable, and only requires
platform-specific external configuration.

Does this shell notation create a unique temp name?
Will the temp file be automatically deleted on process exit?
If not how better arrange that?
