Hi, I'm using pam_script and scripts in /etc/security/onsessionclose to do that job.

Install pam_script-0.1.7-1.el5.rf

add into /etc/pam.d/sshd

session required pam_script.so runas=root expose=1

And enjoy.

Does anyone have an idea how to run a script when the user logs out.

I tried puting the command in the .bash_logout file, but it doesnt work.

Of course, that's only going to work if the user is using bash as their shell. But, given that proviso, that's the right way to do it.

Is anything in .bash_logout being called?

bash man: A login shell is one whose first character of argument zero is a -, or one started with the --login option. ... When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists.

So, if you run bash and exit, it won't be executed. If you run bash --login and exit, it will be executed...

Also from the man: ~/.bash_profile The personal initialization file, executed for login shells ~/.bashrc The individual per-interactive-shell startup file

In gnome terminal, there is an option in the profile to force it to a login shell...

A 'trap 0' statement in the user's .profile or .bash_profile should also be executed as the login shell terminates.
