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.

Unfortunately, one must be root to enable Log{in,out}Hooks.  If you can get
root to cooperate and set up Log{in,out}Hooks that call users' individual
scripts, then individual users can have Log{in,out}Hooks do various
user-specific things.  So a sample LoginHook might be:

#!/bin/sh

if [ -f /Users/$1/.loginHook ]; then
	. /Users/$1/.loginHook
elif [ "$1" = "root" -a -f /.loginHook ]; then
	. /.loginHook
fi

However, others have warned of certain security risks involved with
Log{in,out}Hooks (they are run as root, I guess), so use with caution.

(1) Try

% \rm ~/.NeXT/.NextTrash/*

(2) Or rather, in your .login file,

alias empty '\rm ~/.NeXT/.NextTrash/*'

and, when you want to empty the trash, type

% empty

Note that this will not remove the dot in the middle of the recycler icon
until the icon is refreshed--by, for example, opening the trash.

And last, in your .logout (not .logoff) file, put either 
\rm ~/.NeXT/.NextTrash/* or empty, depending on which option
you chose above.

Hope this helps.
