Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In **System > Configuration > Advanced > System**, this extension adds a new group: **Session Cleaning**.

[![](docs/images/cleanup-session-cron-config.png)](docs/images/cleanup-session-cron-config.png)

Default values enable session cleanup task, daily at midnight.

You are free to change these settings and set an email address to receive log email if an error occurs.

Note: when removing this module, the scheduled task remains. Remove it from DB (**core\_config\_data** table, remove entry where **path** = **crontab/jobs/aurmil\_session\_clean/schedule/cron\_expr**) or disable it in admin if you have [AOE Scheduler module](https://github.com/AOEpeople/Aoe_Scheduler).
