No, no, no - not even close to geeky. ;-)
Actually our problem there is starting and stopping and being
interrupted. And 2 kids and 1 kitchen timer. And we are busy and don't
always note their start time.
My first thought was a cron job that refreshes their allocation at
midnight. Say put 60 minutes into ~.timekeeper. Then check that at
logon time and again every minute while they are logged on and force a
logoff when it gets to 0. Is there a semi-graceful way to force a logoff?
But then I wondered hasn't someone already done this? It would seem to
be an old task. Hence my posting to the list.
Thanks for your comeback.
