My .logout file is this: cd set tty=`tty` (sleep 9; clear > $tty) & (cp .saved.cshrc .cshrc) & (cp .saved.login .login) & The first line puts me in $HOME for the cps, lines 2 and 3 clear the screen a little bit after logout, and lines 4 and 5 protect against the a**holes who think it's funny to put "logout" in my .login when I leave the terminal for a few minutes . . . end of flame. Anyway, most of the time, the logging out finishes before lines 4 and 5 finish and print their "[1] Done ( cp .saved.cshrc .cshrc ) &" messages (which is good: I don't want people to know what is going on). So the messages don't come to the screen. They sometimes go to my .history file! A sample .history file: ( . . . stuph . . . ) notes general fg h h notes -s fa.human-nets net.{jokes,cog-eng,religion.jewish,legal,mag,lang,lang.c,unix,unix-wizards,games,games.rogue,games.frp,space,astro,astro.expert,columbia,physics,math,movies,sf-lovers,startrek} ^M [3] Done ( cp .saved.login .login ) notes -s net.sf-lovers ( . . . other stuph . . . ) If having the entire phile is important for debugging, ask for a copy.
