Bash Version: 4.3 Patch Level: 46 Release Status: release Description: I think the documentation is wrong about the systemwide filename that bash reads when a login shell exits. the manpage says "/etc/bash.bash.logout", but the binary appears to be built with "/etc/bash.bash_logout" (note the change from "." to "_"). 0 dkg@alice:~$ man bash 2>/dev/null | grep -A2 /etc/bash.bash.logout /etc/bash.bash.logout The systemwide login shell cleanup file, executed when a login shell exits 0 dkg@alice:~$ strings $(which bash) | grep /etc/bash.bash.logout /etc/bash.bash_logout 0 dkg@alice:~$ This should probably be fixed by fixing whatever generates the bash manpage.
