Niall,

How about this.

:NEWDIR /logons
:LISTUSER @.@;FORMAT=BRIEF >hpusers.
Edit the file HPUSERS so that each line says :BUILD /logons/USER.ACCOUNT
Keep the file and execute it as a command file to create a baseline.

Add the following lines to your system wide logon udc

purge /logons/!hpuser.!hpaccount
build /logons/!hpuser.!hpaccount

Now each time a user logs on to the system their associated file in the
logons directory will reflect that date. At any time you can do a :STORE
/logons/@;*NULL;DATE<=mm/dd/yyyy to show all users who have not logged on
since a given date.

This solution does not require any third party software or writing any
programs and takes very little time and effort to set up. ODBC and FTP
connections would be outside of the scope of what this can handle.
