Hi,everyone,I have a problem about system log out.
My program is running when the system log out.The system will kill the process of my program.What I want to do is to do some clean operations before the process is killed.How can I achieve this?Is there scripts where I can write my clean operations?
Any advise is appreciated.

You can try to put your commands in $HOME/.bash_logout.

Do you mean it dies

1. when you logout
OR
2. when the system shuts down

For 1.
disconnect the prog from the terminal session

nohup your_prog &

2.
Add an interrupt handler to your program
