You can but you can also modify expire_sessions.py
EXPIRATION_MINUTES=60
import os, time, stat
for app in ['admin','init','examples','welcome']: # add yours
path=os.path.join(request.folder,'..',app,'sessions')
if not os.path.exists(path):
os.mkdir(path)
now=time.time()
for file in os.listdir(path):
filename=os.path.join(path,file)
t=os.stat(filename)[stat.ST_MTIME]
if os.path.isfile(filename) and now-t>EXPIRATION_MINUTES*60 \
and file.startswith(('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9')):
os.unlink(filename)
so that one expire_sessions.py does it for all your apps.
