How to set understory session

Question

I have use Enterprice edition

I want to set the session for magento site like Gmail.

The user login, the session will set.

Once user click logout button the session will destory.

Other wise the the session is active.

If browser is closed, then again Open the browser the session should be active.

if i restart the system, then again Open the magento site the session should be active.

FYI: Also i have tried to set cookie session time out in admin panel. But its not working when the system is restart.

Thanks for help

Based on the comments this moving the sessions to the database seams to solve the problem.

To move the sessions to the database edit app/etc/local.xml and replace

<session_save><![CDATA[files]]></session_save>

with

<session_save><![CDATA[db]]></session_save>
