Hi Annet, I'm also with webfaction and do my session cleanups like this: (this is one line in the crontab):
# Delete sessions that are older than 1 day from the disk. 18 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /home/my_username/webapps/my_w2p_app_dir /web2py/web2py.py --nogui --no-banner -S myweb2pyapp -M -R /home/ my_username/webapps/my_w2p_app_dir/web2py/scripts/sessions2trash.py -A -o -x 86400 -f >> /home/my_username/logs/user/cronjobs/my_w2p_app.cron.log 2>&1 Works as expected... i.e. it starts up, runs for a couple of seconds and quits. A couple of notes that might help... 1) Specify your python path fully. cron on the servers will use the system default python and libraries unless you specify otherwise. 2) the --nogui flag (maybe that's waiting for some input?) 3) important! the -o switch (run once and exit) 4) again, to avoid complications, avoid using ~ and fully specify the paths to everything (the python executable, the web2py.py file, the sessions2trash script... everything) I've had some weird issues in general with cron when using shortcuts in cron.
