change "/tmp" deletion from the time of boot to the time of shutting down to prevent data loss

Greetings,


I have personally encountered a potentially widespread problem with the 
deletion of the "/tmp" folder at boot, as I can not recover 
automatically saved files found in said folder after a system crash, 
which may result in losing valuable data that has been created between 
the time of the last manual save and the automatic saving of said files.

My idea is to delete "/tmp" at the time of shutting down the machine 
properly, as in that case they wouldn't be needed, or after a certain 
amount of crashes occur without a successful shut-down, delete all data 
from generated before previous crashes


Sincerely,

Tamooz
