A solution: bash script that logs-off user once his daily time is over (4 lines to install)
Hi all,
I just made an answer available easily. Code is explained on thread http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=213&t=77687 . In short: a limit configured in minutes per day, a cron job every minute, a message to user to keep him informed and a forced logoff. To download and install this, open a Terminal and run the commands below: Code:
cd /tmp/ Code:
uname -a Thomas Baeckeroot |
New Parental Control Application for Debian Linux

Instructions on how to download and use it can be found here: https://github.com/marcus67/little_brother. The installation may still be a little rough, though. These are the features of the application:

sounds ambitious.
I hope it works well! is it distro-independent? can you explain in a few simple words how it works under the hood? and at what age will kids be able to circumvent it? ;) |
Description of architecture will follow

Your commend reminds me of the fact, that I wanted to write a short technical description of the "architecture" if that word is applicable for such a small application. I will do this as one of my next chores. This is the architecture in a nutshell: https://github.com/marcus67/little_b...RCHITECTURE.md. The children would require a sufficient knowledge of Linux processes and most likely root access or the admin password must have been compromised. |
This sounds fascinating. Thank you for sharing this! Do you expect that a person could modify this to have a popup, instead of an audible message?

Popup is already on the issue list
