didn't you have this in your rc.local just a while ago?
first, I have to wonder why you want to shut it down when you logout
rather than use all that idle time ...
but to answer the question, you can try putting in your .logout file
1) killall rc5des
2) kill `some command to retrieve it's PID`
3) touch RC5/some-file-name
(rc5 will look for a semaphore file, and if present will terminate)
4) etc..
