A simple way to check user activity on loaned Macs
Authored by: dsouth on Sep 06, '06 10:55:01AM

The process accounting system can do some of those things. View the manpages for `accton` or `lastcomm` for more info. By defualt process accouting is off and the standard accounting directory doesn't exist under MacOS, but the executables are present.

Note that if you turn paccting on, you'll need to manage the accounting log files -- they can grow quite large over time.
