=====================

what i would do... make an alias or function of "logout" and/or "exit" in 
the init file that's parsed when the shell starts. alias it to a script or 
assign it to a function that does what you need.

if your shell supports logging out with ^D (or any other keybinding) then 
the details may be shell-specific, but the idea would be to either disable 
it, or bind it to the script.
