Dear Linux community,
I volunteer in a public library, and we have 5 linux computers.
We want to limit the usage time of the users to 30 minutes per day.
There is only one username and password and it is publicly known.
I thought about trying to combine a one time sms code to create this limitation: that users will send an sms message, receive a code via sms and be able to use it in order to use the computer for 30 minutes. something like this?
Maybe you have a better idea, or an idea on how to implement such a thing?
it can also be without an sms, as long as it is done in a way that does not require assistance from the volunteers [since some of them are old and not digital].
I saw this one as well:
but can it be applied to my situation?
Thanks!

Ubuntu Timekpr Controls Computer Access For Kids, Not Just Internet Access
There's a Linux parental control utility that controls access to the computer account, not just Internet access. If you want your kid to stay off the computer, you need Timekpr.
