I think you have missed what people are trying to tell you: if you're
running Linux, you may have more than one human being logged into and
using the computer AT THE SAME TIME. You can also have a single human
being logged into the computer as more than one user, and one user being
used by multiple human beings.
As we speak, I am logged into my Linux computer eight times, five times
as myself (two GUI sessions, just to prove I can do it, plus three
terminals), two times as root, and one time as another user; my wife's
computer has two people logged in simultaneously (me and her); I'm also
logged into a server at work, which currently lists eight people logged
in twenty-one times between them.
Perhaps you should explain what problem you are trying to solve, rather
than how you think you should solve it ("catch the user switching").
