The computer executes my script when it logs out,

Sorry for my bad explaination.

Since what you want is not precisely possible in OS X, the others were

(You
can keep the script in the script menu,. so it's just as easy.) The
script
will do the things you want it to do, then finish by logging out.
This cropped up yesterday. Take a look at:

You can modify /etc/ttys to include a -LogoutHook. This allows you to
specify a (shell) script which'll be called every time a user logs out.
This works in OS 10.1.3 and 10.1.4. It may have been broken in earlier
versions.
There is an anomaly in that when you shutdown (which, perforce, logs you
out), the script does not seem to run. Although this may be a
strangeness I'm experiencing as the script I'm testing sends me an email
on logout. As shutdown will kill the (local) mail server, the mail may
end up getting nuked.
Anyway, HTH
