You are, of course correct. The issue, however, is not which shell is used by the majority of users, but how to have a command run when a user logs out. You as much as admit the problem when you say "a majority" and "most". Putting it in ~/.bash_logout will not guarantee this because there is no guarantee that all users are using/will continue to use bash. > I suppose one could remove all alternative shells from Fedora and in > that way > force people to use bash, if it was really an important objective. That would work, so long as the user doesn't modify ~/.bash_logout. Or put the same command in the logout scripts used by the other available shells (again, this could break if the user modifies those files). Oh, you don't have to actually remove the other shells, just edit /etc/shells - it controls which shells users are allowed to choose. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
