[comp.unix.shell] ksh and .logout

sivesh@rebels.ingr.com (sivesh pradhaan) (12/12/90)

does any one kmow if ksh executes any file when you logout of it? If yes then
what's the name of this file? If no then how does one get ksh to execute a
few stuffs right before it exits? I guess one simple solution would be

     alias lo='some_stuffs; exit'

Is there any better way of doing this?

I put the following line in my .profile:

	trap '$HOME/.logout' EXIT

The EXIT condition causes the specified command to be executed when
ksh exits.
