Package: bash
Version: 3.0-16
Severity: wishlist

I like to do a bit of complicated processing on exiting any shell I
run (saving history, etc).  Currently, the only way to do this, is to
use a login shell, instead of a normal shell, so that .bash_logout can
be sourced at exit.

This means, since I want all of my xterms to save history, with
appropriate file locking, that all of my xterms have to be login
shells, defeating the purpose of a login shell vs non-login shell
differentiation.

Could we include a file that can be sourced at exit of a normal shell?
