FVWM: Query about .fvwm2-menu

From: Uncle Bulgaria <Bulgaria_at_Wimbledon.Common.com>

I currently have the following in the .fvwm2-menu.

# Main menu
AddToMenu "Main" "Main menu" Title
+ "&Xterm" Exec xterm -geometry 170x66+0+0 -bg black -fg lightblue -cr yellow -e /opt/computing/bin/tcsh &
+ "&Applications..."Popup Apps
+ "" Nop
+ "&Modules" Popup Module-Popup
+ "" Nop
+ "Lock Screen" Exec xlock -remote -mode flame
+ "" Nop
+ "&Restart FVWM" Restart
+ "" Nop
+ "&Quit" Quit

The problem I'm having (Or perhaps the request I'm making?) is for some
way of getting Fvwm2 to run a script before actually quitting. The
situation is that I want to update a couple of 'I'm here' status files
before leaving, pretty much like turning on your answering machine
before you go out I 'spose. What I'd ideally like is to be able to write
something like

+ "&Quit" Exec my_shell_script then Quit

but I can't seem to see any way of doing it. Is it possible, and if not
how about sticking it in the next version, maybe with a syntax like

+ "&Quit" command1 ; command2 ; command3

Anyone?

Cheers,
Lee.
