[Tutor] Timer with exe command

[Kaden McLaws]

I would like to set up the following using python: A timer that is activated when a user logs on to our computer, then shuts the computer down when the timer runs out (no matter what, ending all programs). First, a raw input is used, so that if you know the password, you may shut off the timer (set for 90 mins). Otherwise, it is activated. This is a timer to be used so (anonymous) can only spend 90 mins playing Modern Warfare, and not hours upon end like he does. I was also wondering about parsing. It would be effective if the last time the timer activated was recorded in a txt file, logged, so that the program can check and ensure that the last time the timer ended was at least 12 hours ago, so the computer just isnt turned right back on for another 90 mins repeatedly.Is there also a way to run the python hidden in the background so he cannot just figure out how to close it?If you aren't sure off all the details, email me back. Thanks for helping me save (anonymous) from wasting too much time on MW2! :)
