[rt-users] More an d more garbage files in ./rt2/WebRT/sessiondata

[Andreas Kruthoff]

It's documented in the README:

Additionally, you should set up a cron job to remove stale session data.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 WARNING: Don't install this cron job or run this find command if your
 MASON_SESSION_PATH (known in config.pm as $MasonSessionDir)
 points to a directory that could  EVER contain any file that's not
 a Apache::Session datafile.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

# Every hour, nuke session files and lockfiles that haven't been
# touched in 10 hours

0 * * * * find /path/to/rt2/WebRT/sessiondata -type f -amin +600 -exec rm {} 
\;
