inactivity pruning about antilope

I would probably keep a lastActivity (datetime) in the user that would be updated on each of its action.
An active (bool) sounds great.
And for the automatic deactivation, a CRON job is more suited IMO. (Maybe symfony has some helper for this ?)
A manual scan can of course also be implemented.

Yeah I made a mistake, lastConnect (datetime) is no use here.

And with lastActivity (datetime), I can display on each user profile the famous : "Las time seen ... minutes ago" 😄

It seems like for this, I should create an event listener and listen to Kernel events.

There seems to be two possibilities:

1. Listen to kernel.controller that is created just after the controller is choosen.
2. Listen to kernel.terminate

   This event is dispatched after the response has been sent (after the execution of the handle() method). It’s useful to perform slow or complex tasks that don’t need to be completed to send the response (e.g. sending emails).

To checkout if the request is a isMasterRequest()

I like the idea of this post That add a isActiveNow() method to the user and only update the database after a given time (2minutes in the example). This make sense if the user is a LEFT CLIC KILLER !!

Strategy 2 seems sweet to me. What do you think @n-peugnet ???
