Thanks for the info.

The application does auto-logout someone after a certain amount of time.  We
want to schedule load testing for 5,10,20,35,50 users each in 10 minute time
intervals in quick succession.  I don't want to have to wait in between
tests for the users to logout.

Oh, you're right - the cookiemanager specifically won't work here (I tested
on a Timer because 
it was easier).  The issue is that you need the exact same CookieManager
object to carry over 
from ThreadGroup to ThreadGroup, which would be tough to do.  First of all,
JMeter would have 
to ensure that both threadgroups had the same number of threads, then grab
the objects from 
thread #1 of the first threadgroup and hand it to thread #1 of the second
thread group.  And this 
might produce undesired behavior for some types of components (though it is
the desired 
behavior for cookie managers - the engine code knows nothing about cookie
managers being a 
special type of test component).

Not to say it couldn't be done, but it's not a quick enhancement.

It appears we only have partial solutions to your problem currently (ie,
don't use scheduled 
threadgroups, and you can do it Sebastian's original way).  On another note,
however - 
shouldn't you fix an application that is dependent on users manually logging
out?  What if they 
close their browser without logging out?  What if they move to a different
website?
