Hi,
If my children’s computertime is over, the mac switches to the login screen and another user can login. But the child-user isn’t logged out. During shutdown of the computer I still hear some sound of a website that’s not been shutdown. Any shortcuts or key-combinations I can use as the root-user to logout anyone accept myself?
Thx,
Jack

How do the kids see how much time they have left?

Tested the bedtime control and it worked ok. The issue I had is that when the ’starbust’ splash screen kicked in at the desired time, I could not log off or do anything to logout and then login as another user… Any keystrokes I could try to remedy this?

I want to run a report to see how long and when my son actually was logged in (under Parental Control) to his mac. Do you know of a way to do this? The “Logs” tab under Parental Controls give me a report of usage in certain apps or on the web but not in total on his mac.

Thoughts?
