The .login/.logout files are Shell specific (work for csh/tcsh/zsh), but to
go through these files you have to start an application like Terminal or
Stuart. Read more about it in NeXT's Q&A: workspace.500.

The Workspace has something like "LoginHook" and "LogoutHook", to execute
own program(s) on start or termination.

You can create a Shell-script, say, /usr/local/bin/emptyMyTrash:
	cd	# to return to home directory
	/bin/rm -rf .NeXT/.NextTrash/*
and declare:
% dwrite loginwindow LogoutHook /usr/local/bin/emptyMyTrash

This will empty your Recycler after terminating the Workspace application.
You may generalize your emptyMyTrash script to work with mounted disks as well.
