Use .logout file in $HOME directory.

See this doc - http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90046/ch16s06.html

>Ivan: Use .logout file in $HOME directory.

The .logout file is only special to the scummy C shell. If you read Ivan's link carefully, the trick is in the trap command:
trap "$HOME/.logout" 0

In non-C shells simply setup a trap for SIGEXIT like
e.g.
trap 'echo bye $LOGNAME' EXIT

put in your .profile

Oops, the message would disappear too quickly to be readable, so append a ";sleep 3" for instane ;-)
