Description

.logout doesn't get executed when logging out from a Debathena graphical login. It does get executed when logging out from an Athena 9 machine graphically, or from an ssh session to a Debathena machine or an Athena 9 machine.

That’s because ~/.logout is a tcsh dotfile, and the Debian/Ubuntu? login sequence is not based on tcsh. I don’t think there is an explicit hook for running anything on logout, but you could presumably do it at the end of a custom ~/.xsession.

Hmm.... ok. It seems like  http://ist.mit.edu/services/athena/olh/Dotfiles may need to be updated then, since both the bash and tcsh instructions mention .logout. The bash man page mentions .bash_logout -- I'll see whether that works.

On second thought, it seems we’re all confused about how the login sequence actually works right now. Please hold.
