All the inactive session files... inactive and garbage collection time
is denoted by the following php.ini settings:

session.gc_probability = 1 ; percentual probability that the
; 'garbage collection' process is
; started
; on every session initialization
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 ; after this number of seconds,
; stored data will be seen as
; 'garbage' and cleaned up by the
; gc process

Cheers,
Rob.
