Who are all logged out
I have a situation where I have to capture information of all users who log out, along with the terminal info(tty command).
For example, I may have logged in with /dev/pts/2 as well as /dev/pts4.
Now, when I log out of the session with /dev/pts/2, I need that to be sent in an email to a particular email id. Similarly, when the same user id, logs out of /dev/pts/4 also, a similar email needs to be sent, instead of just sending "User id ... has logged out". This way, all the multiple sessions of a user id can be tracked.

Can anyone help me with a script for this?

If the users are using bash shell, you can put the tty command etc. in $HOME/.bash_logout - these commands are executed when the login shell exits.

If not bash, they I'm not sure you can do something at per user level. You best bet could be some sort of system-wide monitoring script but that option has lots of loopholes.
