How to handle close event of PowerShell window if user clicks on Close('X') button

Question

I want to run some code before PowerShell 2.0 window is closed. For this I tried:

PS > register-engineevent PowerShell.Exiting -action {get-process | out-file c:

Unfortunately, you can't do this. The only time an exiting event will get called is if you type "exit" at the PowerShell prompt.

This is how I hook up my exiting event:

 $null = Register-EngineEvent -SourceIdentifier `
     ([System.Management.Automation.PsEngineEvent]::Exiting) -Action { # Put code to run here }
