The command who -Hu). will give you idle time for each logged-in user ( H - print headers; u - list users ) and you could run this command via subprocess, then read and parse its output. Alternatively you could parse the same file(s) as who - I think it reads /var/run/utmp - but that would be a lot more work, as it is a binary file (run man utmp to see its format, use the struct module to decode) Best wishes, John -- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
