My understanding would be that cf just needs to keep a last page hit
time for a particular session, and then compare that with any new page
hit from that client, if the time difference is greater than the session
has timed out. You could call it passive session tracking??

But what's being suggested is that cf actually could be set to run some
code or template at the exact time a session expires, which I guess we
could call active session tracking. Which would mean having to keep a
timer active for every session, yes? Or am I missing something?

I'm not sure what you mean?  CF already has to track the timeout of
every user all the time (and constantly because each user's timeout time
is specific to that user and constantly updated in use).

This reminds me of another thing however: in all pervious versions of CF
you could run a CF template from the command line (thus letting you
easily use third-party schedulers).  You can't do that in MX and I for
one miss it.  ;^)
