Machine Type: i486-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.0
Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release
Description:
I wanted to clear the screen every time a user logs out.
(system-wide setting). "man bash" says in the "FILES" section
that I can write a script "/etc/bash_logout" which in my case
would consist of only the "clear" command.
This does not work.
Some website I found says that this file should be named
"/etc/bash.bash_logout" instead. This works fine. So I think
the mistake is rather in the manpage than in bash itself.
Please correct the manpage. Some sysadmins can save a lot of
time if they don't need to explore it themselves.
Repeat-By:
run "man bash", search for "cleanup", scroll one line up.
Fix:
Dunno how manpages are made, but I guess it's easy :-)
Yours sincerely,
Sven
