No, they need not be login shells. Put the following lines in
"$HOME"/.bashrc:
my_at_exit ()
{
# put the commands to execute on exit here
cd
. ~/.bash_logout
}
# set trap on shell exit
trap my_at_exit 0
# If you want my_at_exit to be executed too when the shell catches
# certain signals (here SIGHUP), you need the following line to
# convert the catching of a SIGHUP into a normal shell exit.
trap 'exit 2' HUP
>Could we include a file that can be sourced at exit of a normal shell?
That is not necessary. Traps do work.
