Blocking users and games during schooltime

[Jordan Erickson]

You might want to look into the 'edubuntu-menus' package - I haven't 
looked at it myself but it apparently can modify XDG (Gnome/other) 
menus/menu items based on group membership. Maybe you could hack 
together a cron script to join/remove the autologin user from a group 
that has access/does not have access to the games from the menu (of 
course if your users are savvy enough they can figure out how to launch 
it anyway, but this might deter the majority of them).

You can also manually modify the menu entries, or simply remove the 
games. Can't really think of any other way, of course the morning is 
still young.


Cheers,
Jordan/Lns
