You don't need a door for such a thing, a single line of JavaScript is how that's done in logon.js:
bbs.menu("random*");

To do something similar at log-off, add @menu:random*@ ("menu" should be in uppercase) to your text/menu/logoff.asc file. You can change "random" to some other basefilename, but the asterisk is what tells the Synchronet menu function to pick any file that matches that pattern at random, for disply.
