Korn Shell Scripting / User Monitor

[SodiumBenzoate]

Hello all!

I was fooling around with my home system today and was wondering if anyone has a kshell script that could monitor a user indefinitely. Also is there any way to integrate this type of monitoring with log files using this scripting:

#!/bin/ksh/


select member
from v$logfile;

Sorry, but one more question, is there anyway to check if anyone has been "missing" or entering wrong passwords repeatedly?
Sorry, kinda new to the linux scene and i think my roomate is fooling around with my PC. thanks for any help.

Hey all again,

I managed to write this in a c-shell (because its WAYY easier ) but i can't get it to work the same in Korn-shell.
Could someone please help out, thanks for any aid

echo Enter user ID

read user

echo Enter period of time to be monitored

read input

period=$(($input * 3))

i=0

while test $i -lt $period;do

date>>logs

ps -e | grep $user>>logs

sleep 20

let i=i+1

done

cat logs
