Garry, Sorry for the delay in posting these but I didn't have them where I was! :-) Please remember that these were written for my needs on a public system where a known user is at each terminal.
When I get a chance after the Holidays I may clean these up to be more useful in general. You may download the scripts from http://www.elbnet.com/fanwood/scripts 1) clean-up - This script lives in /usr/local/bin and is executed by the user from a desktop icon. Basically it kills off all of the user's processes (in this case Mozilla, AbiWord, etc.) and turns on the screensaver. 2) kiosk-reset - This script also lives in /usr/local/bin and is run by cron once a minute, or however often you'd like. It kills off any processes that are left running once the screensaver turns on. 3) mozilla-start - This also resides in /usr/local/bin and is called by a user from their desktop icon for Mozilla. It first checks to see if Mozilla is already running for this user, warns them that they are about to kill the running Mozilla if it is, then kills off Mozilla and starts a new instance. 4) start-mozilla - Also in /usr/local/bin I use this script to write some session tracking info and to put the user is in a directory where they can easily access the link to the floppy disk. You could just start Mozilla directly from #3 above. 5) reset.cgi-script - is put in the cgi-bin and is executed from an administrative web page. It basically just kills the entire X session for a user. I had to do it twice each time the script is called because the auto-log in doesn't work quite right if I just kill it once. Again these were not written with general portability in mind, so you will have to modify them as needed to work for you. Hope these are helpful.
