There is already one:
zenon% uptime
4:05pm up 6 day(s), 16:25, 10 users, load average: 2.34, 2.29, 2.25
Now to extract the number of users, a little scripting might be necessary,
but this should fairly trivial to write in either sed/awk, or perl.

Add an entry to your crontab that simply executes date. If an entry from
crontab produces any output in standard output, then cron will send the
output with mail to the crontab owner.
