Does anyone know if there is a way to find all the active CFIDs and CFTOKENs?

Or a solution to my issue....

There is no login on this application.

I have a form that anyone of 100o's of people can work on and save in a
database. Multiple people can work on the same form, but we don't want people
working on the same form at the same time. So, I flag the record as being
checked out, easy and done.

However how do files get checked in?

Someone can check in a file... but what if they don't ?

Automatically check the file in when their session expires or the browser
closes! But how can I know that??

Another limitation.... I can't use Javascript.

My thoeretical solution would be to put the users cfid and cftoken in the
database, as a locking flag. I would have a script that ran every 30 minutes(or
whatever) compared the active ids and tokens to what was in the database,
removing any that were not active, effectivly unlocking them.

So, back to my original question:
