Does anyone know of a script i can run on an NT server that will check 

what predtermined sessions are running on a site, write them to a file as 

they are created and deleted as a person leaves. Failing that is there a 

command available so that if someone leaves the site by closing the 

browser and not logging out, another window opens with a page telling them 

they did not log out properly. While they read this page a script on the 

page can run and abandon the session for them.

You must be doing something very similar to me, I'd like the answers to both

these questions ;-)



I'm managing "members online" using functions and stored procs in an SQL

Server DB to update "time of last activity" on each page load, and regarding

a session as "alive" (member online) if they hit a page in the last 20

minutes.

Afraid i'm not going to be able to provide the full answer here but i did 

think about using the same kind of thing but didn't persue it much but 

sounds like you're interested in using the Session_OnStart() and 

Session_OnEnd() in the global.asa file. When a user connects and 

disconnects these are called respectively and the code within these 

functions carried out. If you do a searcj on any asp site on these you 

should be given loads of info.



I suppose you could call store procedures within each of these to carry 

out what you need, and use the SessionID as the unique id for the record 

(assuming you want to dump the info into a database) or use the 

FileSystemObject (to a text file). These can then be called from another 

asp page to list all records. i don't think you can use the Seesion_OnEnd

() routine to call another page on the client though, since it is Server-

side but it could be used to log the user out.



Hope this explanation is kind of clear and helps!
