Monitoring User Usage

We have Leopard installed on all our computers.
We have a desktop upstairs that is used by the children.
How can I monitor/recall which user was on the computer at what time, and for how long?
I think the Console app is my answer, but I'm not sure what to look for.
In our example, my wife is userone, and has full administrative privileges.
Our daughter is usertwo, and son is userthree. Both usertwo and three have limited usage.
So, how do I go about telling what times of the day or night my children where on the computer.
We're running into a lot of "I don't knows", or, "Not mes".
Thanks for your help.

Go to system preferences and select accounts. You should see the three accounts you mentioned plus the guest account (which you can turn on/off). On the accounts you want to monitor click the account on the left and check the box 'enable parental controls'. You can then click 'open parental controls' to get several parental options. Probably the one most useful to what you're trying to monitor is in the last tab across the top of the window 'logs'.

  • How can I monitor my monthly data usage for all 3 computers in my house? I have an Airport base station and it seems there should be software to monitor it from that point rather than monitoring the usage for each computer and then adding it up.

  • IMac using 100% of the CPU, but no processes in Activity Monitor show usage over 3%. What's going on?

    This iMac is about 5 years old. It has the 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 2GB RAM, and is running 10.8.5. After rebooting the machine, CPU usage is low. After about 30 seconds, when using Activity Monitor, CPU usage bumps up to 100% and stays there without budging. When viewing the CPU tab near the botom, % User is about 95+%, and % System makes up the other 5%. They change slightly every second. The problem is, if I sort my Processes by % CPU, the largest user is Activity Monitor with around 2.3%. Everything else is at 0.0%. So there's something weird going on causing the CPU to max out and run hot, but I can't figure out what's causing it. Checking for applications to force quit doesn't show any issues, and repairing permissions doesn't do anything. Is there any way to figure out what's going on? I read about how to reset the System Management Controller, is this something I should do? Thank you for ANY help, it's driving me crazy!
    EDIT: I figured it out! Browsing All Processes, I'm running a folding@home program, but I thought I uninstalled it! The process is called FahCore_a4. Is there any way to prevent it from showing up on boot? I want to get rid of it but I deleted the applications!

    Be certain to check that you are viewing "All Processes" as opposed to "My Processes"

  • Difference between Available and Used in Info for MacIntosh HD and Space Free and Space Utilised under Activity Monitor, Disk Usage?

    I have a MacBook Air 2010, upgraded to OSX Version 10.8.4.  When I click the Macintosh HD and then look under Info, it says I have 120.47GB capacity, Available 60.97GB, Used 59.5GB.  However when I look under Activity Monitor, Disk Usage it says Space Utilised 92.18GB, Space free: 28.29GB.  Questions:
    Why the difference?
    Which is more important for computer speed?
    How to I reduce "Space Utlised" to closer to "Used"?  (I've already moved 25GB of the more bulky, less immediate data to external storage from the computer, including emptying IPhoto Trash and the main Trash.  The Space Utilised dropped only from 95GB to 92GB--while the Used space dropped from 85GB to 60GB.)

    Just to let you I tried the reindexing before the Mendes advice and it had no effect.  Of course, I may have done it wrong. It was the HD icon from the desktop which I dragged into the Privacy window of Spotlight (and then did the +, OK, - and close Spotlight).  Should I have dragged in something else?  Or opened up the HD and dragged in all the contents?
    Also, there is a small section in my HD which is for my wife's account which has a separate user name and password, although it has no data in it and I set it up while under my administrator account original, so my MacAir may think I still "own" it; in any case, I did not get any sort of error message saying I did not have ownership of the entire HD.

  • Resource monitoring - memory usage

    I typically use the system monitor on our SLES11 SP2 server (OES11 SP1). The server has 48 GB of memory as our backup software, Arkeia, loves memory. When monitoring resource usage during an Arkeia backup job, I notice that my memory usage remains around 9.4 GB. However, if I look at the process table, my Arkeia job is using well over 16 GB alone.
    So the questions are : Why the difference? And is this a bug?
    The one thing that comes to mind is the resource monitor is only looking at OS memory usage and is not adding "user process" memory. Any thoughts on this? Chris.

    What exact tool(s) are you using to monitor Arkeia's memory usage, and the overall memory usage? Can we see their output please? I'd guess they're really looking at different things.

  • Is there an APP to monitor call usage and number of texts sent

    Is there an APP to monitor call usage (in minutes) and number of texts sent etc so I can ensure I am keeping within my contract? I am getting my 3GS on Thursday so do not know if the phone has this facility already inbuilt or whether there is an app I can buy to do this for me?
    Thank you for any help and info to answer my question.

    Unless O2 has an app available via the iTunes app store that provides for this as AT&T does for the iPhone sold in the U.S., I don't believe so.
    The iPhone includes a usage indicator for Call Time and Cellular Network Data usage, which can be reset on a monthly basis based on your billing cycle, but there is no usage indicator for the number of messages sent or received.

  • Monitor user access (Fusion Middleware)

    Hi All
    Please advise if it is possible to monitor user login and logoff times when accessing any of the various fusion middleware components...
    Specifically SOA Suite 11g (Enterprise Manager, OSB, etc).
    I would like to audit and report on the time, duration, and tasks completed each time a user accesses any of the components mentioned above.
    I have come across a Product called [Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control] that might be suitable to my requirements.
    Your expert opinion in this regard will be highly appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi,
    You have to enable Audit Trail for this.

  • WCS Lobby Ambassador and Monitor User

    I'm running our WCS authentication through ACS with TACACS and it's working fine.  However, I currently have my Help Desk setup with a monitor user so they can login and view WCS, but this does not give them the Lobby Ambassador of course.  How can I get a user to have both WCS and Lobby access with having to login with seperate user identities?

    It's either admin either lobby account, you can not have both, the http pages are completly different and dont intermix.
    Your solution is to have 2 users on your TACACS where one is the admin and one the lobby.
    Here are the step by step config lines:

  • SIP trunking monitoring and usage report

    Hello all,
    Recently the IP telephony system has migrated to SIP trunking from PRI.   SIP trunking is running on CUBE 2900 serials.
    Could anyone advise the following?    much appreciate it.
    .  SIP trunking monitoring :  
       If MIB needed,   any brief steps to configure it on monitored device and monitoring system?
    . SIP trunking usage report :  
       Any software/application could generate the usage report?   and show the cocurrent calls?
    Thanks again,
    master002

    Thanks Nadeem for the reply,  looks Variphy Insight is the option?
    I have installed RTMT and was able to get the real time data instead of the usage report.  I also have CUOM -- operation manager, I haven't customized it to monitor SIP trunking yet.
    As my previous post mentioned,  any one could share the idea or experience on SIP trunking monitoring and usage report?  
    Thanks again,

  • Did anyone experience drop down in # of user usage in Apple's weekly report after transitioning?

    Hello,
    Did anyone experience drop down in # of user usage in Apple's weekly report after transitioning to the new structure (or design)?
    We transitioned our public iTunes U site on the first week of April.
    Since then, the number in the apple's weekly report showing the user usage of the site dramatically went down.
    I don't think all the RSS feeds and the URL of our podcasts changed due to the transition.

    Greetings;
    The following previous discussion thread might shed some light on your issue.  All the best...

  • Monitoring User Logins in Business One

    Hi,
    I'm wondering, is there a way to monitor users when they are logged in on B1 server?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Welcome you post on the forum.
    Only the file B1upf.xml holding that info you are looking for. You may open that file regularly to check the user connection. Or monitor the file update if you can. The file is under license folder of the server tool.
    Thanks,
