Установите ограничения по времени для конкретных приложений (например, игр)

Я просто сделал следующий сценарий с этой целью. Я назвал его timelimit:

#!/bin/bash

#timelimit - Set daily time limits for specific applications

if [ $# -ne 1 ];then
    echo "Usage: `basename $0` APP_NAME"
    exit 1
fi

export DISPLAY=:0

app_name=$@
time_to_play_daily="2:30:00"  # channge as you wish; the format is: H[:M[:S]]
file="$HOME/.count_time_$app_name"

if [ -a $file ]; then
    if [ "$(head -1 $file)" != "$(date +%D)" ]; then
        echo $(date +%D) > $file
        echo $time_to_play_daily >> $file
    fi

time_to_play_left=$(sed -n '2p' $file)

sec_left=$(echo $time_to_play_left | awk -F: '{ print ($1 * 3600) + ($2 * 60) + $3 }')

function countdown
{
    sec_left=$(echo $time_to_play_left | awk -F: '{ print ($1 * 3600) + ($2 * 60) + $3 }')
    local start=$(date +%s)
    local end=$((start + sec_left))
    local cur=$start

    while [[ $cur -lt $end ]]; do
        pid=$(pgrep -x $app_name)
        if [ "$pid" != "" ]; then
            cur=$(date +%s)
            sec_left=$((end-cur))
            time_to_play_left="$((sec_left/3600)):$(((sec_left/60)%60)):$((sec_left%60))"
            sed -i "2s/.*/$time_to_play_left/" $file
            # next line is useful only when you test from terminal
            printf "\rTime left to play with %s: %02d:%02d:%02d" $app_name $((sec_left/3600)) $(((sec_left/60)%60)) $((sec_left%60))
            sleep 1
        else
            break
        fi
    done
}

while : ; do
    pid=$(pgrep -x $app_name)
    sleep 1
    if [ "$pid" != "" ]; then
        if [ $sec_left -gt 0 ]; then
            notify-send -i $app_name "Time left to play with $app_name for today: $time_to_play_left"
        else
            notify-send -i "error" "Your time to play with $app_name has finished for today!"
        fi
        countdown $time_to_play_left
        pid=$(pgrep -x $app_name)
        if [ "$pid" != "" ]; then kill $pid; fi
    fi
done

Не забывайте делать это исполняемым файлом:

chmod +x timelimit

Синтаксис:

timelimit APP_NAME

Важный:

• Можно протестировать этот сценарий в терминале, но это должно быть должно работать при системном запуске. Для добираний выполненный при запуске посмотрите, Как запустить скрипты на запуске?

• Этот сценарий должен быть перезапущен в полночь, если Вы не выключаете свой компьютер ночью. Чтобы сделать это, можно добавить задание крона как:

  00 00 * * * kill `pgrep -x timelimit` && timelimit APP_NAME
