If I create a file ~/.bash_logout file it gets executed when the user logs out but when I create a system wide /etc/bash_logout it doesn't work.
Not what the issue is since I couldn't find anything on that.
AFAIK, there is no basic mechanism that tells to read /etc/bash_whatever for each user. For instance if you look in the default ~/.bashrc you will see that:
# Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi
You have to do it the same way with bash_logout.
