Dear Netfolks, For many years we have worked on the principle that most of our users are a reasonable bunch of people who will stay off the system during timetabled classes - this is a system that has worked well up to now. This year we seem to have many students who are abusing the system, so I need to write a program which will either selectively prevent logins or check who is logged in and throw people off the system if they are not in the class. I would like my program to read a file containing a week number, day, time period and list of acceptable groups(1). Nothing too hard in that, you might say, except the usual problem of not enough hours in a day. Before I start writing this program I thought I'd check if anyone knew of a clever Unix trick to do all this, which I might have missed, or if anyone has already written the kind of program I've described above.
