On my Debian-Server there is per default a cronjob that looks every 30
minutes for old sessions.

Cronjob:

09,39 * * * * root [ -d /var/lib/php4 ] && find /var/lib/php4/
-type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php4/maxlifetime) -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm

/usr/lib/php4/maxlifetime:

#!/bin/sh -e

max=1440

for ini in /etc/php4/*/php.ini; do
cur=$(sed -n -e
's/^[[:space:]]*session.gc_maxlifetime[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*\([0-9]\+\).*$/\1/p'
$ini 2>/dev/null
[ -z "$cur" ] && cur=0
[ "$cur" -gt "$max" ] && max=$cur
done

echo $(($max/60))

exit 0
