Cron Killing User Sessions Options

[Reggie]

Every time the cron fetches new mail to post, users are forced to login again to keep using the front end. This does not occur if theres no new email.

Is this a documented bug? Can you reproduce?

I see there's no feedback on this issue. It's really a big problem because if users are creating content on the site while the cron is run they are forced to re-login and loose their work!!!

Any comment will be very appreciated...

Thanks!

Well, desperately looking I found that logout line in the cron script that I removed and it seems to eliminate the problem. Wish it's not a security risk and that the created session will eventually expire by its own. Besides my concern is that a new session cookie be created every five minutes my script runs and could stall the server.

CODE

if ($mainframe->login($credentials)) {
    $controller = new PostByEmailController();
    echo $controller->importAll();
    // @$mainframe->logout();
} else
    echo 'Post By Email Cron Job fatal error: the login attempt has failed, wrong username and/or password!';

Would still appreciate some comment from the developer, yet I had to alter that cron file in so many ways to have it work correctly!

Thanks!
