Can you make a program the usuable thing.

I know the tittle is not very inviting and I apologize for that but I thank you for looking either way.

He is what I am wondering, I was curious if you can make a program (lets call it cplay for music). The only thing allowed during a session. I ask this because I wanted to use my laptop as a boom-box for when I have friends over and what not. But I only want them to be able to scroll through Cplay and change the song if they find something else they like. With out them being able to open anything else. I have it so all you can do in the terminal is the Cplay options and you can not end it without ending the Terminal session it self. But now I want only that to be allowed and nothing else. (if you understand what I mean).

If you could help that would be amazing and thank you ahead of time for your time.

i think you want to make a new user / group and restrict their privileges?

create users and groups by : System > Administration > Users and Groups

perhaps kiosk mode will have the options you desire.

Sorry I spaced to check the thread for a awhile. I will try both of these and get back in a bit. Hopefully one works for what I would like.
