You can specify a session variable's timeout in the <CFAPPLICATION> tag (in
fact, you MUST set it). Session variables can last as long as you want them
to, but bear in mind that they typically reside in memory, so be judicious
about their usage! As for terminating the session, you can use the
StructClear() function.

Subject: New and Worried (terminating a session)
>Hi all,

>Can this be done in applications.cfm with a timer/counter? I think I
