I need to have a script run when a user logs out. I am trying to have some lock files delete from a common directory when the user logs out.

The users are using tcsh and we are running X11

I tried using a .logout script from a user home directory, but it would not run. I tried csh.logout in /etc, but still no luck.

I tried also running something from the /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default file.

Nothing seems to run. They are not returning any errors. They are just not running. We are using Gnome Desktop.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Which distribution are you running?

We are running CentOS 5.1

what I have done is adding the script in the .cshrc which will execute it when you start cshell, but this works every time you create a cshell. I also want to know what to do for a logout.
