I was curious as to what scripts were executed when the reboot command was entered?

Walter

man init, reboot: runlevel 6.
/etc/rc.d/rc and the scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc6.d

Duhhhh, ok, I asked for the wrong command (Man I'm a dumb ass sometimes I meant when i'm logged in (no X) and I type 'exit' and return to a 'user' prompt. So I guess what I'm trying to ask is there a way to clear the screen after typing 'exit' and returning to a prompt?

If your asking what runlevel is used if your in X and you logout of X to just a command prompt ? If that is it, most likely I would think would be runlevel 3 with most Linux systems.

I thing he's asking about what happens when he logs out of the console and returns to the login prompt. I guess he's worried about leaving small snapshots of what he was doing on the console right before logging out.

On most systems, when you type exit at the console, your shell just quits and returns you to the prompt. tcsh does have a .logout script for customizing your logouts; however, bash is typically the default shell. The easiest thing to do is just get in the habit of typing "clear; exit" to logout. Perhaps you could create an alias for this if you really wanted to.

whasse:
in your home directory, there should be a script called .bash_logout

I believe that might be what you are looking for.

-K.

Thank you

Walter.
