Hi All, Since few days I stuck in a question that how to find logged in users of my application. I am using db session store. can any buddy help for this.
Thanks a lot in advance.

I would use a before_filter on any action that a user might take which updates a timestamp field in a separate model. Then, to find out who is online, you could search that model for rows that have updated in the last few minutes.

The web uses a connectionless protocol and you cannot force people to log out. They can just disconnect. You could record the time of login and logout but that wouldn't be quite right, because you can't distinguish between someone has shutting down their machine and going away from them having a momentary disconnect.
You could expire their session (their login) if X minutes elapsed and they didn't do anything. But then you'd have to record the time in the database each time they did something.
