/etc/bash.logout not being run

[Causer1984]

The title says it all really: /etc/bash.logout is not being run on user logout as defined in "man bash". Tested on 9.04 and 8.04 with no joy. The script is exectutable as

$ bash /etc/bash.logout

so it's not an error in the script itself

~/.bash_logout works as well.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I am testing using login shells.

I guess I'm a little confused. So /etc/bash.logout does not work. Does ~/bash_logout work or not work?

Thanks for the reply.

Someone actually solved it for me. Documentation on man bash is wrong. The file that is run on logout is /etc/bash.bash_logout.

Hope that will help someone else in the future!
