auto cleanup of used files/bash-history etc.

[bluetiger]

Kubuntu is great, however, I may need some privacy on my laptop, when looking around, I found "KControl -> Privacy and Security", but is it possible to run this cleanup-script automatically every time I log out? How can I create a more 'LiveCD-ish' system without any traces of command-history and used files? :/

Another Q, is it difficult to encrypt my home-directory and their configuration-files without removing anything? /Home is on a separate 5 GB partition.

Re: auto cleanup of used files/bash-history etc.

execute commands on log out:
from the bash man page...

/etc/bash.logout
The systemwide login shell cleanup file, executed when a login shell exits
~/.bash_logout
The individual login shell cleanup file, executed when a login shell exits

so...
just put your cleanup commands in those files,
depending upon how you want your system to behave...


file system encryption:
this could be a starting point.
