I think there is a cleaner way. No need to modify the applications/
admin/cron/expire_sessions.py whenever you add or remove your apps.
You just put this line into each of applications/your_app/cron/crontab
10 2 * * * root
**applications/admin/cron/expire_sessions.py
The point here is that, you only need to invoke the built-in admin/
cron/expire_sessions.py, because it can already work on caller-app's
folder.
@Massimo:
And I just don't see any reason why this line does not go into
scaffold app.
@Annet:
Sorry, but what do you mean "emil"?
