Trying to set up a Mac for my disabled Mum for initially iChat.

Run an alarm program called Aurora to wake the Mac from sleep and play a song in iTunes and open iChat at a pre-determined time.

Increased the pointer size and reduced the Mighty Mouse functions to single click (and Dashboard).

Without going into detail why - is there an Automator function or script to close apps and sleep the computer after chatting (perhaps via button 3)? Or any other useful automations?

Are there any lower cost programs to remotely control the other Mac and are they otherwise secure?

Grateful for any help in advance, cheers!
