Is there a way to execute something on exit, in Korn shell? This would be like the ``csh'' ``.logout'' file. Many thanks. -- Fariborz ``Skip'' Tavakkolian UUCP ...!uw-beaver!tikal!mcgp1!fst UNIX is a registered trademark of AT&T

In my .profile I have code like this: for n in 0 1 3 15 do trap ". $HOME/.logout $n" $n done and my .logout starts with: TermSIG="$1" This allows me to make some tests in the logout script which avoid loops. When just doing a normal termination I ask if all terminals logged in under my ID are to be logged out, to allow me a fast way to end the day. Others will probably want to use other tests. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me

I've had trap '$HOME/.logout' 0 in my profile through several versions of ksh, and I never see my prompt back. If you trap with a signal number >0, then when the signal is received the trap is executed and the shell resumes (so you would need an exit); but signal number 0 is a special case: If 'n' is 0 then the command 'arg' is executed _on_exit_from_the_shell._ (User's Manual) So the 0 trap is run during the exit, but does not interrupt the exit. -- Tim J Ihde UUCP: att!attdso!tim (201) 898-6687 INTERNET: tim@attdso.att.com "Blimey - this redistribution of wealth is more complicated than I'd thought!" - Dennis Moore and misc.

I do have one small problem though:
I also set TMOUT=3600.
If ksh times out while I have "trap..." set, I get a message
ksh: setcooked failed ksh: shelledit
and it doesn't do the .logout (which just posts .login + logout time to a file)
I want both the TMOUT and the '.logout' functions to work.

That's strange. I run ksh on a variety of systems (suns,3b2s,rts,vaxen) and
I have both 'trap "$HOME/.logout" EXIT' and 'TMOUT=600' set, and when
the shell times out, my .logout is executed, no problem.
