A question I get quite often is:
What is the best way to "kill" all sessions in my ColdFusion application?

Well, my answer always is.... It just takes 3 lines of code (Don't you just love ColdFusion? ;)

<cfscript>
   StructClear(Session);
</cfscript>

The command above will instruct ColdFusion to "kill" all sessions for the current client.

Questions? Comments? Email me...

Shorter Method
<cfset StructClear(session)>

StructDelete
Why not use StructDelete?
It is a bit longer but it will delete session.

<cfloop collection="#Session#" item="All_Vars">
<cfset StructDelete(Session, All_Vars)>
</cfloop>

Any good reason not to do that ?
