There could be more process that that create these, but if I do something like:
ls -l * r | more I will see a /tmp/sh??????? created that has "ls -l *" in it. Basically if I issue any command and then do r | more I will see the last command I entered. I have always just assumed that the "/tmp/sh???????" files were temporary files created when doing certain shell commands/processes.
