That is what I found using google.


What it is is moving /usr/bin/xfce4-session to /usr/bin/xfce4-session.orig
Next make a new bash script /usr/bin/xfce4-session with e.g.:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Login  : `date`" >> /tmp/testfile # Here whatever you want
/usr/bin/xfce4-session.orig
echo "Logout : `date`" >> /tmp/testfile # Here whatever you want

It would be nice to have the ability to do this nativaly in XFCE like you
can start programs when XFCE launches.

Even pointing just one program to see if it is there and if it is, run it,
would be great.
e.g. it could look at /usr/local/bin/xfce4-shutdown.sh and if it is
available, run it.
Or on any other place that won't overwrite the script.

That would be a fast way of doing this. Doing it so that you can select
programs like with an update would be more consitant, but harder to
implement, I would think.

Unless there already is a way to do all this, that is.
