Hello managers!
I run X windows using CDE on my Alpha 2100, and I am wondering how I can
tell if a user is logged onto the console terminal or not. When I do a
ps -ef on the user, the output looks the same as if that person was
logged in back at his desk. This is what the output of ps -ef|grep
sspaldin looks like when sspaldin is logged in on the console:
MissouriEmployers.mem-ins.com> ps -ef|grep sspaldin

This is what it looks like when the same person is logged on at his
desk:

I thought that perhaps the /etc/auth/system/ttys file would help out
here, and it does, sort of. There's a line in it that looks like this
\:0|\:0.0:\
:t_devname=\:0:t_uid=sspaldin:t_logtime#892049831:t_unsucuid=dhumisto:\
:t_unsuctime#891372778:t_login_timeout#0:t_xdisplay:chkent:
which I thought at first meant that it kept track of who was currently
in on the console, but I found out that this line does not really change
until someone else has logged in there.
Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks as always!
