I haven't dealt with that before, but if I were to do it, I would:
Determine what I meant by expired (let's say 3 days for example)
Write a rake task that deletes the session
Write a cron script to run it nightly after the database backup
My rake task would probably look like:
namespace :db
namespace :sessions
task :delete => :environment do
CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session.delete_all(['created_at < ?',
3.days.ago])
end
end
end
My cron script would look something like this:
mkdir -p /var/backup/mysql
date=`date "+%d"`
mysqldump -ubackup -pmypass myapp_production | gzip > /var/backup/
mysql/myapp-$date.sql.gz
cd /var/www/apps/myapp/current && rake db:sessions:delete
Alternately, you could have it run every time an admin logs in
(assuming that your admins don't mind the slight performance hit)
