[SOLVED] php $_SESSION var completely locked!

[pion]

I have a php script first accessing the $_SESSION variable (form token), then after form is validated, an external app is called (through cmd.exe).

 

The external app is hanging from time to time (for reasons unknown), causing the $_SESSION variable to hang all pages accessing it for the user session!

 

When accessing a page trying to access the $_SESSION variable (for the same user session) the page never comes back with any reply. Using processmonitor.exe I see that apache is unable to open the temp session file.

 

Is there any way to not break the session with cmd app failing? (And still validate the form with form tokens before issuing the cmd)
