[rt-users] Persistent sessions

[David Chandek-Stark]

I have tried the recipe for persistent sessions at 
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/PersistentSessions and it appears to 
work as intended. (FWIW the main reason for implementing this change was 
to make the RefreshHomepage setting persist.)  However, RT seems to be 
touching the sessions (LastUpdated field in the sessions table) overnight 
which effectively forces the user's session to be either reset to default 
values or lost so that a new one is generated. 

I have two cron jobs that touch either users or sessions. Nightly at 1am a 
SQL command is run to cleanup sessions last updated more than a month ago:

        delete from sessions where LastUpdated < date_sub(now(), interval 
1 month)

The second job is a Perl script that uses the API to update user info from 
an external data source, and it runs hourly during business hours.

Any ideas on what could be going on here?

Thanks,
David
