Linux - Put a custom script in custom load state in SDDM

Question

appreciate if you can help. I'm trying to move my Google Chrome cache to RAM-disk, and I doing it following the instruction. It says, I need to put script in my display manager config this way:

GDM (Gnome Display Manager) or MDM - /etc/mdm/PostSession/Default add "/etc/init.d/ramdisksaverestore stop" before line "exit 0"

LightDM - /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf add "session-cleanup-script = /etc/init.d/ramdisksaverestore stop" in the end of "[SeatDefaults]" section.

But I use Linux Mint 18 KDE (Ubuntu-based) with SDDM, and have no idea where should I put my script (I mean both file and line of it). Any help?

Maybe I should put that in the /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsession but where and how?

well, it turns out the best decision is to use PSD ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/profile-sync-daemon) and do not worry about anything, it will solve all the problems by itself.
