This plugin is designed to try and beat the corrupted session table problem that has been talked about on the forums a number of times.

Because of the way that Joomla! has been programmed the session table is only ever cleaned up when someone logs in to the backend... for a lot of sites this may not ever happen - creating some rather big session tables.

Also, when it does run it only does a delete, whereas this plugin will do a delete, check and repair if necessary. This reduces the overhead also.

The mambot runs from the frontend, ensuring that the session table is cleaned up more often. By default, it will randomly run 1 in a 100 requests...You can also force it to run everytime, or by using a link variable that will force it to run if given the right secretword.

All configuration is done in the file rather than using params, this way we reduce the number of calls to the database.

Installation is easy.. simply install as you would any other mambot... note that this will only work with Joomla! not Mambo.
