cronjob for php-session

[robertlouwen]

Hello all,

I want session files older than 30 minutes automatic deleted and according to this information found in php.in I have to create cronjob or a script

; NOTE: If you are using the subdirectory option for storing session files
;       (see session.save_path above), then garbage collection does *not*
;       happen automatically.  You will need to do your own garbage
;       collection through a shell script, cron entry, or some other method.
;       For example, the following script would is the equivalent of
;       setting session.gc_maxlifetime to 1440 (1440 seconds = 24 minutes):
;          cd /path/to/sessions; find -cmin +24 | xargs rm

My path to session is /var/lib/php/session so I tried the following possibilities:
[root@obelix ~]# crontab -e

*/30 * * * * root find -cmin +30 | xargs rm /var/lib/php/session &> /dev/null

*/30 * * * * root /var/lib/php/session find -cmin +30 | xargs rm /var/lib/php/session  &> /dev/null

*/30 * * * * cd /var/lib/php/session find -cmin +30 | xargs rm &> /dev/null

None of them work.

Who knows the right syntax ?
