I would like to set up the following using python: A timer that is activated
when a user logs on to our computer, then shuts the computer down when the
timer runs out (no matter what, ending all programs). First, a raw input is
used, so that if you know the password, you may shut off the timer (set for 90
mins). Otherwise, it is activated. This is a timer to be used so (anonymous)
can only spend 90 mins playing Modern Warfare, and not hours upon end like he
does. I was also wondering about parsing. It would be effective if the last
time the timer activated was recorded in a txt file, logged, so that the
program can check and ensure that the last time the timer ended was at least 12
hours ago, so the computer just isnt turned right back on for another 90 mins
repeatedly.Is there also a way to run the python hidden in the background so he
cannot just figure out how to close it?If you aren't sure off all the details,
email me back. Thanks for helping me save (anonymous) from wasting too much
time on MW2! :)
