Correction. Sorry If I missed this. If a users has to reboot their computer, their browser won't (typically) reuse an old session anyway. It will force a new cookie which looks, on the server-side, like a new session.
Although, this doesn't help you to know that the old one should invalidated. It will still live on until the session timeout has been hit. Are you trying to force killing of the session for some reason like performance or memory?
