Something along these lines should work on probably any UNIX or UNIX-like system. Unlinking a file removes the directory entry but the storage blocks are not released for reuse until all file handles are closed. This ends up being more of an annoyance than a benefit when long-running jobs put big files on scratch storage which is periodically pruned.
