Computer usage monitoring tool for parental control.
Watcher is a computer usage monitoring tool. With Watcher, a computer's owner can define how long a given user can use the computer on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Watcher has been designed to help parents who want to watch their childrens.
Great program that allows you to set timers on individual programs.
Cons
Apparently, it does not work with Spaces. The user can just go to a different Spaces window once time runs out. Maybe the manufacturer will create an update?
Summary
Great with the older operating systems.
beware!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />this crashed my computer with repeated "you only have one minute to use your computer messages."
This may work if settings are adjusted before the computer is shut down, but I did not adjust settings, and eventually (after hours) realized that Watcher was teh problem and I had to remove it from StartUp Items. Its trashed, and everythings OK
The program itself does nothing but tell you how much time you are on, it seems
