Bash script to end and edit Typescript file at the end of terminal session automatically

Multi tool use

I'm using the script command to record my terminal activity.
After the session closes, I'm using the following command to process the
resultant Typescript file:



cat typescript | perl -pe 's/e([^[]]|[.*?[a-zA-Z]|].*?a)//g' | col -b > typescript-processed


Now, the command to begin the recording and the command above are present in the same bash file. Is it possible to invoke the above code segment (running in background at that time) only when the terminal session is being closed?



Thanks in advance! •ᴗ•

Try this place that script in the ~/.bash_logout file and when the shell closes it will be run.



I used this example and it worked:



finish() {



        echo "my firstname" >> /tmp/kokolet

}

trap finish EXIT

            Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

            Image
            6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w...
