How about adding a few lines to your job stream:

!SHOWJOB [log in to unmask] > SHOWFILE
!GREP.HPBIN.SYS "-i '#S'" < SHOWFILE > SESSFILE
!IF FINFO ( "SESSFILE", "EOF" ) <> 0
!  TELLOP THERE ARE STILL USERS LOGGED INTO "ACCOUNT"
!  TELLOP PLEASE ABORT THEM AND RE-RUN THIS JOB!
!  EOJ
!ENDIF

SHOWFILE and SESSFILE are temporary files and will dissappear as
soon as the job logs off, and the 'GREP' command (Global Regular
Expression Printer) will only put lines containing '#S' into the
SESSFILE, so if that's empty, only JOBS are logged in!

HTH!
