Ok... I've looked at the parental controls and none of them really do what I want. They can't be set on the admin account.
Here's the idea I had...
there's a background program that can't be quit. At random intervals on between 5 minutes and 30 minutes I want it to take a low quality screenshot and send the picture in an email.
It should require a unique, non-admin password to quit or uninstall it.
Any suggestions? (I'm trying to find something extremely unobtrusive. As far as they're concerned the computer should completely be their own... they even have admin controls still. But I want to be able to check up on what they're doing even when I'm not at a computer and so can't use screen sharing for a quick check.)
Edit: Free is obviously my preferred price. I'm willing to spend a small one time fee though. Like $5-$20.
2X Edit: ... or maybe instead of emailing the picture, it can just drop the picture in the public "Drop Box" of another computer on the network.
