put these lines in a .logout file, but be careful not to logout with more than
the console window open or else you will have to kill your other shells by 
finding them in a ps -aux.

this should do the trick
:::::::::::::
.logout
:::::::::::::
kill -9 `ps -x | awk '/mex/ { print $1 }'` >& /dev/null
gclear
clear
