From /sys/help/lo:

     You can execute a DM command script automatically at logout.  The logout
     script must be in a file named `node_data/startup_logout.type, where type
     is one of the standard display type extensions used for startup filenames
     (for example, 19l, color, none, and so on). Note that you cannot start up
     new processes with cp, cps, or cpo from this script, because the DM is in
     the process of shutting down all existing processes, unless you specify
     the -w option with cps or cpd.

Should'a' RTFH'ed! :^}
