[OPLINTECH] Utility for session logoffs

[Adam Murphy]

You could always run a logon script that reboots the computer 15 minutes 
after logon:
psshutdown -r -t 900 -m "Your session will end in 15 minutes"

The PC reboots to the logon screen so patrons just need to click on the 
user account to login and start the timer. You could call the account 
"Begin Session" or "Click Here".

Just a thought
