[SOLVED] .bash_logout does not execute after sway exit

As for i3/x11, I always do

startx && exit

in my

.bash_profile

so that

.bash_logout

is executed too.
On sway, I couldn't find a way to achieve it. I've tried

exec sway && exit

, but .bash_logout doesn't execute.
Exiting the session is the same command on both,

i3-msg exit

and

swaymsg exit

Re: [SOLVED] .bash_logout does not execute after sway exit

And why did you add the exec to the sway invocation? "Exec" is precisely what causes the issue, it's a command to replace your entire shell with the command you are about to execute. If you need .bash_logout ran, simply do not "exec" any commands. Which is the same trail of logic already discussed in your previous thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 8#p2066568

Alas, didn't knew this btw. Tqvm for this information. It's fixed now ; D
My bad. Forgot to learn from my past experiences !
