I have some clean-up that needs to occur when a session ends. If the user logs out this is a simple task. On tablets, sometimes the user just kills the application rather than logging out. Is there a way to trigger a Gateway script or session script to run when this occurs? When the operator does this, it generates a log in the event log, but I don't know how to run a script off of an specific error in the log. ---

There is a session event for this, but note that it runs after a timeout, since browsers generally do not affirmatively close sessions. ---

Yes, there are [Session Events](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+Session+Event+Scripts#PerspectiveSessionEventScripts-StartupandShutdownEventScripts:~:text=Keystroke-,Startup%20and%20Shutdown%20Event%20Scripts,-Startup%C2%A0and%C2%A0), including the `Shutdown` Event. Note that a user logging out does not shut down the session, so be wary of logic dependent on a user logging out. ---

Thanks that worked! ---

A Shutdown Session event occurs for one of 6 reasons listed in the description of the event. Is there a way to determine which one of the six reasons are the source of the event? Also, is there documentation anywhere for what is inside the session parameter? I suspect, if it's possible, the event reason inside that, but I'm not sure how to search/extract that information. ---

This is a breakdown of everything the `session` object believes it has access to. It's a full-blown [session object](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/scripting-in-perspective/perspective-component-methods#session-objects). ![Screenshot 2024-03-27 at 11.51.26 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/7/a7cd03dba775534d5d06f9ca99b3e651443efe93.png) ---

Thanks cmallonee - I did see that, but wasn't able to find what I'm looking for. Are those items listed somewhere in detail online? My main question is still, can I tell what/why the event was triggered? ---

No, the Event does not provide any context as to why the session was shutdown, nor does the session itself have any idea why it is going through the shutdown process. ---

Roger that. Thank you
