I found a better solution, I think. I found this piece from Arstechnica. After enabling access control lists, I used the chmod +a command to deny read permissions for the Flash plugin. It works great, but my hope is that my tactics will motivate my boys to use Leechblock as a self-monitoring...

Thanks for all your ideas. I do use OpenDNS but the problem there is that these games and sites are all over the web. I blocked games sites through OpenDNS but there are so many that not all sites are tagged by OpenDNS. Also, I have Tiger not Leopard so my parental controls are limited...

My sons are addicted to casual online games, Extreme Blast Billiards, etc. I would have hoped they could monitor themselves but they can't. They waste a lot of time on these. Is there a way to temporarily disable Flash on Safari and Firefox, perhaps with an easily reversible script? I know...

It was an interesting link, but I didn't see anything about scheduling or restricting logon times. I also tend to be cautious with system level terminal commands. I am always afraid I might mess something up. I did find the command ac -d users username is helpful in monitoring usage after the...

Thanks Bob. While I was waiting to hear a response, I got Tiger and did an archive and install. That fixed the problem.

System: iBook G4 933 256MB 10.3.9 I used script editor for the first time about 2 weeks ago. I wrote my first short scripts and used "save as" to save them as an application so my son could use it while I continued to edit and improve the script. I am not sure, but I think I was able to go...
