Need to logoff guest users after certain period of time
I have an interesting problem and need an interesting solution. I am trying to set a timed user session on a work computer and want to log whoever off after 30 minutes on a guest session. since guest accounts cant save i was thinking of making changes to guest-session/skel in the admin account and copying over but i dont know which script to run or how to edit crontab for this. maybe someone has a better idea. thanks.
