You could write a script that pipes the output of "last" into awk.
Then print only those users logged on longer than a given time,
then send you mail. I know I made it sound easy, but it's really
not that hard. I wrote something similar in the past and it worked
fine. I don't know if "last" is available on your platform, but
seems there would be something close.
