The .bashrc trick works, but .my.cnf or my.cnf is platform-nonspecific. Many of the readers of the list don't use *n*x workstations. However, those who do can take advantage of other bourne-again shell tricks like: trap "~/.logout" 0 at the end of .bashrc .profile or .bash_profile where .logout is chmod-ded +x and contains commands to do clean-up tasks upon exiting the shell. But, of course we're heading off-topic.
