The x2gocleansessions script forks itself and becomes a daemon  
process. It should run on your system permanently. It contains a loop  
that executes its code every 2 seconds (older versions of X2Go Server:  
every 5 seconds).

x2gocleansessions belongs to /usr/sbin, not /usr/bin. Please contact  
the archlinux maintainer of X2Go Server and tell him that.

Also, we will be happy to include a service file, once it's proven to work...
