Following on an earlier question of mine, I'm trying to arrange for persistent data (per user) by writing session data to the db. The trick I'm stumbling over is how to make sure that the session data that is stored always represents the end of the most recent user session. It seems to me like the best solution would be to set up a cron job to (a) check for session files that haven't been changed recently; and (b) write their data to the db.
Looking at the contents of a session file, though, I'm not sure how to read data from them. Is there a gluon class that I can call from the cron script? Am I going to run into problems with decrypting hashed data? Thanks, Ian --
