Linux session control?? Karen Collier 2007-12-10T23:04:30Z 2007-12-10T23:04:30Z

I believe the software Howard County uses for their public PCs is Groovix. http://groovix.com/ I'm not 100% sure if this offers session control or not.

I just found this open source PC Reservation System from [url http://userful.com/products/pre&#045;book ]Pre&#045;Book[/url]. <br /><br />&#034;Pre&#045;Book is a full featured, affordable, PC reservation system which also integrates with our public access computing software. With Pre&#045;Book patrons can book time on a station from home, office, school or the library itself.&#034;<br /><br />I don&#039;t know anything more about it, other than the link came from the [url http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Open_Source_Software ]Library Success wiki[/url], included in a list of &#034;great, free open source tools for libraries.&#034; If anyone has used this, I&#039;d like to hear some details.

You could try openkiosk &#040;http://openkiosk.sourceforge.net/&#041;<br />Alternatively, if you&#039;re purely just wanting something to time sessions, have a look at the Public Internet Terminal Timer &#040;http://mail.portsmouth.lib.oh.us/PITT/&#041;

Hello and welcome!<br /><br />It sounds like you&#039;re exploring the territory of Open Source for public access computing &#045;&#045;more power to you. I don&#039;t have a clue about OS myself, but I can point you to a library that is committed to and steeped in it. It&#039;s the [url http://webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=11058 ]Howard County Library[/url], the subject of one of our Library of the Month stories. I&#039;m sure the IT director and team would be glad to share their knowledge &#045;&#045;the email is at the end of the article.<br /><br />Good luck and let us know what you discover.

We have a Linux server and are searching for session control software to work with our microsoft public access computers. Session control being defined as a program that will limit the amount of time a person can be on a public access computer. Any thoughts on what we can use?
