This looks like it might work. Thanks!

I'd write an Applescript to force a clean logout. The login script would call the Applescript, if the login was happening during a forbidden time, and schedule an "at" job to occur at the start of the forbidden time to force a logout. The problem with this is that he knows little about scripting (shell, Applescript, Perl, or otherwise) and he lives in West Virginia. I don't want to debug it by phone or e-mail. Therefore, I wanted to know if the wheel had been invented before I started reinventing it. Also, the machine can't be shut down since it's the cable modem gateway and print server for the rest of the house. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 27.
