[Zope] Zope Session Timeout

[Jonathan Hobbs]

Yet another potential solution...

In the root directory (of a default zope installation) you will find a
'temp_folder' object.  Inside this object is a 'session_data' object.  Click
on the session_data object and you will see a field "Script to call when
objects are deleted".  The online Help has more info on what parameters are
passed to a script you enter here.

You may be able to use this to set a flag somewhere which you can check
and/or invoke some other script to do whatever needs to be done.
