The main change as I see it would be required in the logoutscript, since 
if I read this correctly, the end of each router. 

    } else {
        label $router
        log_user 1
        interact
    }

    # End of for each router
    wait
    sleep 0.3
}
exit 0

The "interact" ends when the session closes? (i.e., after we might need 
to do some bits with the script).  Looks straightforward if we're 
already running a script (-s), however.

Yep, that's what I was getting at.  The type of hook you suggest sounds 
like a better option.
