Also your proposed fix is incomplete... # sed -n -e 's/^[[:space:]]*session.save_handler[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*\([[:alnum:]]\+\).*$/\1/p' /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini # php5 -c /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini -d "error_reporting='~E_ALL'" -r 'echo ini_get("session.save_handler")."\n";' files The cron job is really meant for the default setup, since it also has other problems: * The cron job doesn't handle custom session.save_path * The cron job doesn't catch session files in subdirectories > If you seriously think running lsof on a server every 30 minutes regardless of the necessity is perfectly safe, then I guess we can agree to disagree :) If you can come up with a better way how to skip and not delete session files that are still used by long running scripts (e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/626640), then I would gladly accept the new solution. I am also going to improve the wording of README.Debian to accent the need to modify the cron job if you modify the session handling. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #626640 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626640 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1356113 Title: PHP5 session clean cron job causes OOM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1356113/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
