Thanks for the reply. Let me provide more info. May be I missed something very basic. I am replying inline to your/Ricardo's comments.
"BTW..........you're 10 steps ahead.....but you're calling it wrongly :-P" I guess I am calling it wrongly. Did not get the 10 steps ahead part "the args of the script are..... However, to launch a script using the app environment, web2py's syntax is" I think this difference is what sends me down the wrong path "If I'm not wrong your applications/myapp/sessions directory only have 2 entries, and they are the "." and "..", so your session dir is empty." But I did have entries going till beginning of January. I used the -o -x 3600 and they disappeared. So my question about the basic behaviour - I am using db auth. So once a user logs in, there is an entry in the auth_event table. If the user quits without logging out, obviously there is no entry for 'log out'. In such a scenario, will the script delete session files?
