When a login shell terminates it executes commands from the files
.logout in the user's home directory and /etc/csh.logout.
( bash )
On exit:
if ~/.bash_logout exists, source it.
( sh )
doesn't seem to have a logout script, but you could always
simulate one by putting
logout() {
clear ; exit
}
in your ~/.profile.
( zsh )
~/.zlogout
/etc/zlogout
Since this is a per-user thing, and since each user only has one login
shell, you only have to create one of the logout scripts.
