Okay,
How is this: (?)
Cron task that runs every 10 minutes or so that
1) immediately exits unless it is in the disallowed time (to cut down
on wasting cycles).
2) greps the list of apps that are running for the ones like browsers,
IRC, etc. then force kills those process(es).
3) It would need a finder like gui front end that he could use to make
the list of restricted apps (since he does not know scripting very
well).
