How do you logout a user from the server in PHP?

Question

I want to create a customisation that logs users out after a certain time of inactivity since closing Sugar in their browser (e.g. log out at night). I need this separate from Oauth token lifetimes so that APIs and the Outlook Plugin can still be configured to never log off.

I'm trying to find a way to log the current user out in Sugar using PHP. I've looked at these files and tried their logout implementations with appropriate adjustments in a custom logic hook and a custom entry point, but none have worked:

clients/base/api/OAuth2Api.php
modules/Users/Logout.php

Do you know of any method of logging out a user without using the browser?

Hi Enrico, I just managed to do it. There may be other ways of acquiring user session ID's (AKA access tokens), but using the Tracker module's tracker_sessions table seems a good way. You can log off any and all users immediately by using SugarOAuth2Server to unset the refresh token and using PHP's session functions to juggle user sessions and destroy them. This session code helps: PHP: session_destroy - Manual .
