You can use `trap` command for this: trap 'command' EXIT (alternative: define TRAPEXIT() function), needs to be defined outside of functions. `man zshbuiltins`, documentation for `trap` built-in also references `zshexit` hook, so it is probably better to use
function my-zshexit-hook()
{
your code here
}
zshexit_functions+=( my-zshexit-hook )
. But documentation for this hook says that this hook is “Executed at the point where the main shell is about to exit normally.”: note “normally”. When trying to use this do some tests, maybe you need this trap *and* some trap like TRAPHUP() function, I have not ever needed this.
