well ! you can shut your daughter off of msn chat by cutting off her internet
connection! If games aren't on line - that won't work for them -
my son's computer is noisy - so sometimes we want to turn it off if he isn't
here. we take our lives in our hands to go into his room ....he's 21 though! so
it's a little different.
you could take the next day's computer time away from the last person on - if
they left the computer running when they were done - you'd have to keep track of
who was on last though -
I know that doesn't solve what you're asking - but it might get them to be a
little more conscientious about it -

the reason i want to do it is we has three kids, 14 y/o daughter that uses nsm
to chat to her friends and 2 sons 13 and 10 that play games.
so we have to tell them 1 hour them swop over, at the end of the hour world war
3 breaks out, the person thats on the pc keeps saying just let me Finnish this
or just a minute.
i did put a program on that would shut down or restart the pc after a set time
but they would just pause it when we were not looking,
if i can find a way to shut it down from my pc i can tell them that i have put a
program on their pc that will shut down after a set time or if they argue
(sneaky).
and at night i get up to go to bed only to find they have left it on and i have
to stand there and shut it down, sometimes this can take a few minutes depending
on what they have running.
