RE: expireall -r and session.db size
****** message to minivend-users from Ryan Hertz <rhertz@gyb.baits.com> ******
The way I think minivend works with expire/all is to purge the userdata in
session.db according to the lifespan you set in the minivend.cfg. If you
have the expire set to be a month and your store has been running for 3
weeks the session.db will not get smaller.
