[mdlug] logout script?

[Wojtak, Greg]

Either or... the problem is that since we exec the actual binary of the
application, /usr/bin/ksh gets replaced, right?  So we can't do anything
after that since when the users exit out of the telnet based app they get
logged out of their session.  Does that make sense?  The more I think about
it, the more I think that the only way to do this is to not exec the binary
and do the necessary cleanup tasks after the application exits.  We are
loathe to do this simply because of the sheer number of processes running
(it takes a full minute for ps to even begin to dump out the process table).
