Provided you really want to save your session when you log out. I don't want to do that, because if the saved session is broken somehow, it is quite difficult to login again. I don't know if it still can happen, but I had that problem some years ago.

I don't know about the OP, but it seems to me, he doesn't want to save the session during logout either, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the question.

That's interesting. What is the downside of a symbolic to the binary? It always worked for me.
