Orphan .rms_mqtt.uci-xxx temp files are leftover on device and included in backups

[luckman212]

I noticed that there seems to be an issue where changes to the /etc/config/rms_mqtt file (perhaps by some background automation because I certainly am not making changes to it) are leaving behind dangling orphan temp files. The file names are in the format

.rms_mqtt.uci-XXXXXX

This is mostly a cosmetic issue but should be fixed. The files also get zipped up and included in any backups taken from the device (pictured below)

This has been happening for several months, and continues to happen even on the latest firmware 7.10.

Even happening on a brand new factory reset device.

I put this command in my crontab for now but it’s not pretty.
