Bug#427798: xterm: request for exit hook



tag 427798 upstream
thanks

Hi Thomas,

what's your take on this one?

Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.org> (06/06/2007):
> Package: xterm
> Version: 225-1
> Severity: wishlist
> 
> It would be useful to have the ability to run a script just before
> xterm is about to exit. The script should have access to the following
> information in some way:
>   * the exit status of the subprocess if it has terminated (thus
>     causing xterm to exit);
>   * the terminal data.
> 
> The goal is to be able to keep the xterm window open and/or to be able
> to save its data in the following cases:
>   * when the subprocess has crashed (but not if it has terminated
>     "normally");
>   * when the X connection has been lost (it is not possible to keep
>     the xterm window open, but it should be possible to save the
>     terminal data and do some clean-up if need be).
