I'd assume that teachers can also learn stuff, but maybe I'm wrong.

Really, one script might save a lot of manual work:

#!/bin/sh
HOSTS="workstation1 workstation2 workstation3 workstation4 and so on"
for i in $HOSTS ; do ssh root@$i poweroff ; done

IMO this should be hidden for student users, but shown for teacher users. If 
not, it's a bug and I would be happy if you would report it as such. (In the 
BTS, not just here on the list.)

This might be related to ~/.xsession-* being filled with errors and thus 
filling up the home-partition/users quota.
