[Bug 908154] [NEW] PHP session garbage collection measured in minutes instead of seconds

[Bill Ruddock]

Public bug reported:

1) $ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
Release:	11.04

2) php5-common:
  Installed: 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.4
  Candidate: 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.4

3) With session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 Expected session files to be
cleaned up that are over 1440 seconds old (=24 minutes)

4) What happens: only files older than 1440 minutes are deleted.

In the file /etc/cron.d/php5 is the following
09,39 *     * * *     root   [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -depth -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) -delete

This takes the output from /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime which is in seconds
and treats it as though it was in minutes.

Should be
-cmin +$(($(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) / 60)
