I have not yet deployed this code to production because I have made other changes that I need to finish first, but I hope this solves the IP problem as well. Now that I think of it, I think it will, because I am figuring that it was the cronjob "sessions" which had an ip of 0.0.0.0, which makes sense, since they run on the same host.[/quote]

It's worth noting that the ip_address() method of the input class checks for the typical web server headers. If none yield an IP, the ip is set to '0.0.0.0'. So, yes, if you are executing PHP directly (cron or bash, etc.) those headers will not be found and CI will return '0.0.0.0' You might try adding some logic to disable sessions when '0.0.0.0' is encountered. Or you can go a bit further and use the php_sapi_name function to detect CLI usage and disable sessions somehow (I'll leave that thought exercise to you.)
