I am invoking a script via cURL, with POST variables. Seems to
work fine, but...
On the first invocation I set a session variable, when I return
to the same script via cURL from the same computer (with a
different command) the session array is empty.
I verified that I am setting the session variable correctly.
What is special about using Session when invoking a script via cURL

yes, I do session_start (); as the first executable line in the
script.

I have other scripts on that server that use $_SESSION and are
invoked from the web - Session works just fine.

That did not do the job, but gave me a hint.
I fixed the problem by adding:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, '/tmp/cookies.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '/tmp/cookies.txt');
so that curl would know where to save the SESSION Cookie and
where to find it for the next script.
