Thank you Ken.
The problem is that the link is leading to a "Page not found" . Thus I
do not really understand how to use this beautiful "#!/bin/sh*`@#:!~"
script. ;-))
Art is something difficult.
Yours.
Bernard

You can customize the logout with the instructions on this web page:

It's kind of hairy because this is for logouts, not for shutdowns.
What I would do is create a script that, when called, checks if there
is only one user logged in and if there is then runs the backup for
that user since the only user is logging out. It's probably easiest to
wrap this in a shell script, in this fashion:
----
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "Finder"' \
-e 'display dialog "script ran"'\
-e 'end tell'
----

Under MacOS 9, it was easy to perform a backup script when shuting

How could you do under MaOS X ?
I have found the iBeeZz utility that allows it, but is there a simpler
straightforward mean to do it.
Thanks for your help.
