VNC Timer
Hello fellows,
I am new in this forum, i would appreciate your assistance.

I need a timming system for my vnc desktops (Cybercafe timer stuff).
Each unix user login to my server only with vnc, and i want to write a program that can generate timer tickets and have control on the time used for the session.
I am thinking of writing some shell scripts along with cron jobs, then later build a webbased user interface using perl or php.
is this that the best way to go about this?
I would appreciate some tips from you.
Thanx

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       [server][::port|:display]
	      Specifies the VNC server to connect to. The VNC server can be either a hostname, or an IP address. If the server is an IPv6 address,
	      it must be enclosed by square brackets. The address can optionally be followed by two colons (::) and the VNC port number, or alter-
	      natively by one colon (:) and the display where Vinagre should run. If a port is not specified, default value of 5900 will be  used.
	      If  the value is lower than 1024, 5900 will be added to it. For example, ":0" means "5900" and ":1" means ":5901". If only a port is
	      specified, but not the hostname, localhost will be assumed.  Possible values for the display are between 0 and 1024.  If	a  display
	      number greater than 1024 is specified, it will be assumed to be a port.  Note that you can't specify the port and the display at the
	      same time.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Start vinagre from the command line

       example% vinagre

       Example 2: Create a new top-level window

       example% vinagre --new-window

       Example 3: Connect to a specified VNC server and port

       example% vinagre snoopy::5900

       Example 4: Connect to a specified IPv4 address and port

       example% vinagre 192.168.1.35::2700

       Example 5: Connect to a specified IPv6 address and port

       example% vinagre [2001:0db8:0:0:0:0:1428:57ab]::2700

       Example 6: Connect to a VNC server specified by a .vnc file

       example% vinagre -F snoopy.vnc

       Example 7: Connect to localhost on a specified port in fullscreen mode

       example% vinagre -f ::5900
