Re: [orca-list] speechd-el vs emacspeak.

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

There is .bash_logout that can be used to place commands only to be run 
when a logout happens.  Other shell environments may offer something 
similar.  The file must be executable to work and if memory serves have 
a #!/usr/bin/env bash line it its top.  Not a good idea to use 
#!/usr/bin/bash in the system.  The /usr/bin/ path may be different on 
different systems depending on location of shells too.
