    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,
                         Larry ( daffner@ecn.purdue.edu )

   Bash will execute the contents of ~/.bash_logout.    Put this in your
home directory and enjoy.

Try inserting the following into your .profile:

export LOGIN
if [ "$LOGIN" = "" ] ; 
	then LOGIN="logged in"
	trap "echo logout ; . $HOME/.bash_logout" 0
fi

This seems the most likely way to do it (I assume that bash is GNU's
version of the Bourne shell with various non-proprietary doodads
inserted).

If my assumption is wrong, flames to my mailbox, please.
