The first time I read this question I was thinking you want to
show the user that is now logging on when s/he LAST logged on.
This is somewhat valuable as it lets the user know if their
logon was used more recently that they expected to see.  There
is not a built-in, automated way to get this info in MPE, but I
am sure there are 3rd party products that provide this feature,
and I don't think it would be too difficult to craft a solution
yourself via logon UDCs.

BOUNCER was already mentioned as a way to log off inactive
users, and there may be other tools that do this.  Plain MPE
does not support this capability, but you can write a fairly
simple script that sorts the SHOWJOB output by INTRODUCED date.
Or, you can combine the new JOBCNT and JINFO functions (if you are
on MPE/iX release 6.0) to output just the jobs that are older than
X days.  There is a version of such a script on our Jazz Webserver
at: http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/scripts/jcnt.txt

Why go to any trouble at all.  Assuming that either the jobname or user name
is unique, then the low tech solution could be done.

In a logon udc for each user you want to track:
:PURGE !HPUSER or !HPJOBNAME
:BUILD !HPUSER or !HPJOBNAME

When any one wants to see the last time a user worked just do this:
:SETVAR LASTWORK FINFO("user or jobname","CREATED")+FINFO("user or
jobname","CREATETIME")
:ECHO !LASTWORK
