In the system start-up items have a quickie shell or perl script that looks at the system clock and if it is in between the allowable times call 'shutdown now' so that she cannot restart the machine. While this can be a pain if he needs to use the machine, this could be timed-out password over-ridden via a 'open terminal' call and get input.
