Hello,

I am running IRIX 6.5 and would like to be able to run a script to kill
some processes every time a user logs out. Is this possible? I tried
adding to .bash_profile but that didn't work.

The .bash_profile file is only read at log in time. You said you wanted it run at logout, so the correct file is .bash_logout. (See the bash man page for further information.)

But the default shell on IRIX is csh not bash! Are you sure the users in question are actually using bash?
