Run a script on logout/restart
Hi,
How do I run a script on logout/restart?.
I saw some threads on using a wrapper from circa 2018.
Is there now a dedicated file to edit?.
Thanks

Re: Run a script on logout/restart
If you add a new Autostart item under Settings --> Session and Startup --> tab "Autostart Applications", you can specify at which time you want it to run--this includes logout and restart, among others.

Re: Run a script on logout/restart
Thanks.
I'm familiar with the autostart folder, but where do scripts which run on logout go?.
Cheers

Re: Run a script on logout/restart
OK, I've found that adding
RunHook=<value>to the associated file in ~/.config/autostart would do the trick, where <value> the events and values are:
login 0, logout 1, shutdown 2, restart 3, suspend 4, hibernate 5, hybrid sleep 6, switch user 7.

Re: Run a script on logout/restart
You can also do this via the dialog at Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Autostart Applications. For each entry, click on the Trigger column and you will get a dropdown to set the RunHook values.

Re: Run a script on logout/restart
Thanks.
Is it possible to have multiple hooks, e.g. a script should run on logout + shutdown + restart?.
Or does this require separate entries?.

Re: Run a script on logout/restart
Answered in the other thread you posted to. At this time no, but it would be a good enhancement to the code if we could have something like a "session exit" entry. Perhaps you could open an enhancement request.
