    Hi.
    Sessions file not cleared in Debian 10.
    The problem seems to be that /var/www/clients/clientXX/webYYY/tmp does not get cleaned on all servers in cluster.
    Found this similar:
    https://www.howtoforge.com/communit...l-tmp-sessions-not-deleted.41752/#post-344256
    But now i have websites with 2 million sess_xxxxxx in tmp/ and its hard to delete.
    This started after upgrade to Debian 10 in september 2019.
    I have /etc/cron.d/php that contains:
    09,39 * * * * root [ -x /usr/lib/php/sessionclean ] && if [ ! -d /run/systemd/system ]; then /usr/lib/php/sessionclean; fi
    Its running:
    Mar 2 13:39:01 mail11 CRON[5832]: (root) CMD ( [ -x /usr/lib/php/sessionclean ] && if [ ! -d /run/systemd/system ]; then /usr/lib/php/sessionclean; fi)
    Mar 2 13:39:03 mail11 systemd[1]: phpsessionclean.service: Succeeded.
    Mar 2 13:39:03 mail11 systemd[1]: Started Clean php session files.

    Anyone had similar error and solved it ?

    For anyone else that have trouble deleting many files, this worked:
    cd in to tmp/, then run:
    find . -name "sess*" -delete

    After trying hotfixing this on one node (not also master) i cant confirm that it works, still old session from yesterday.
    I did restart Apache2, but nothing else.
    Are there any extra steps to make it work ? Tried also to restart cron.service right now.

    The code from the bugfix works fine, it uses find to delete only old session files, not all session files.

    find . -mtime +1 -name 'sess_*'
    Gives me zero hits.
    Ok, from man:
    -mtime n File's data was last modified n*24 hours ago
    So code clears sess_* older than 24 hours ? Thats ok if working. Will try tomorrow again then.

    "-mtime +1" gives me approx 2.5 days for sessionsfiles, so it works ok. Thanks.
