[NTLUG:Discuss] user notification

[Fred James]

How about an sh script (Bourne Shell)?

(snippet)
while :
do
      (what ever you need to do)
      (maybe sleep some on each iteration)
done
(end snippet)

What is your context?  Do you need to know who is on, who just logged 
on, how long they have been on, how long have they been idle?
How do you want to be notified: by mail, on screen, or what?

finger `users` | (to awk, or whatever)...

...difficult to say without knowing what you really need, but there you 
have it.
