Does anyone know if there is a way to force bash to source the .logout
file on exit from the login shell. If it is supposed to do so, any clue why
it doesn't. I would prefer to still be able to use ^D to logout.I could alias
logout to ". .logout;\logout", but would ^D use this alias, or just log me out,
no questions asked?
Any help appreciated,

Bash will execute the contents of ~/.bash_logout. Put this in your home directory and enjoy. -- /Bob... {...}!rutgers!mende mende@cs.rutgers.edu mende@zodiac.bitnet

If my assumption is wrong, flames to my mailbox, please. -- On the 'Net: Why are more and more fourth-level wizard(-wannabe)s trying to invoke ninth-level magic, instead of taking the time to climb the other (quite essential) thirteen levels so they can do this properly? ...!{ucbvax,acad,uunet,amdahl,pyramid}!unisoft!greywolf
