Is there a default way to run commands on user's logout?

By John Parsons •

I want to log the logins/logouts of my users.

For the logins I only need to modify /etc/profile and add my command or edit any .profile for an specific user.

But for the logouts I don't know if there is a default/centralized way to do it like /etc/profile for logins.

I see some example for CLI sessions, but I want to register GUI/CLI sessions.

Thanks

Found this thread:

From the manual (man bash):

When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands from the files ~/.bash_logout and /etc/bash.bash_logout, if the files exists.
