How to clear terminal window after TMOUT

Question

I want to see if there is a way to have the terminal windows cleared after a TMOUT session timeout and disconnect. Does anyone know of a way to have the screen cleared once it times out?

Answer

Set an exit trap in your .bashrc file

trap '[[ -n $TMOUT ]] && clear' exit

JavaScript
​x
 
trap '[[ -n $TMOUT ]] && clear' exit​

When the shell exits, it executes the clear command if TMOUT is set to a non-null value.
