from "# If..." to "exit 0"

Your script should actually start with:
#!/bin/bash
# and insert any comments here, like what this script does

Then you want to name it such that you won't accidentally try to use it as a loginhook. My recommendation is "LogoutHook". Smilie

You can put the script practically anywhere, but try to think of a place that will be common for all such scripts going forward. We created a folder in the main Library folder for all custom scripting. That is where all of our admin level support staff can find them on any previous or future image builds.

You probably don't want read privileges for other, aka "world readable". After creating your script, from the command line, enter this and hit return:
chmod 770 /path/to/LogoutHook

You probably want to make root or "system" the owner, and maybe assign the admin group full access:
sudo chown root:admin /path/to/LogoutHook

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong on any of this, but it is working this way for my scripts.

uri_urn(n)					    Tcl Uniform Resource Identifier Management						uri_urn(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       uri_urn - URI utilities, URN scheme

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tcl  8.2

       package require uri::urn  ?1.1.2?

       uri::urn::quote url

       uri::urn::unquote url

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This  package  provides two commands to quote and unquote the disallowed characters for url using the urn scheme, registers the scheme with
       the package uri, and provides internal helpers which will be automatically used by the commands uri::split and uri::join of package uri	to
       handle urls using the urn scheme.

COMMANDS

       uri::urn::quote url
	      This command quotes the characters disallowed by the urn scheme (per RFC 2141 sec2.2) in the url and returns the modified url as its
	      result.

       uri::urn::unquote url
	      This commands performs the reverse of ::uri::urn::quote. It takes an urn url, removes the quoting from  all  disallowed  characters,
	      and returns the modified urls as its result.

BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK
