Dan, I have implemented a timed session system in my Highland Park install and it has been running without a hitch for several months now. I'm not sure what you mean by "reserved sessions," could you clarify?
I'd be glad to share my scripts with you but be aware they are still in development and not in a "for the public" format - i.e. no documentation and some pretty ugly coding - but you are welcome to them.
