If I understand you correctly, an easier solution would be to have something like this in .bash_profile directly

Code:
cd $HOME/applications
./move_some_files
# make sure the exec is the last line
exec ./start_application
cd $HOME/applications ./move_some_files # make sure the exec is the last line exec ./start_application
-->bash itself will then be replaced by ./start_application - therefore when ./start_application terminates, you'll be logged out and returned to the prompt.

Cheers
