Script to find last use 1

[longhair]

Hi all,

Not sure if this is possible.
Running HPUX11.
We have many users who forget to sign off when they are not actively using their terminals. I was wondering if it's possible to find the last time a user / login was actively used and if it's more than x minutes generate a mail (would like to kill it but that's not always a nice option).
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

longhair

Here's an example of the 'w' command. It is a pretty standard command as far as I know.

$ w
  7:53pm  up 32 days,  3:21,  9 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.08, 0.14
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
spc      :0       -                20Jun03   ?     0.00s   ?     -
spc      pts/0    -                20Jun03 32days  0.00s   ?     -
spc      pts/1    -                15Jul03 42:13   1:02   0.00s  gdb
spc      pts/4    -                Sat 2pm  0.00s  2.30s  0.01s  w
spc      pts/3    -                Thu 3pm 35:36   0.93s  0.10s  /bin/bash
spc      pts/5    -                Sat10pm  2days  0.12s  0.04s  bash
spc      pts/6    -                Mon 7pm 24:23m  0.07s  0.07s  /bin/bash

You can then start to use the login/idle times to determine what to do about it.
