Try this command file I wrote:

SETVAR DEPTLIST "UB  PO  IS  EX  AC  SD  SX  TR  PU  PR  CM  ET  CR  ME  R2
"
SETVAR MAXULIST "999 020 006 006 004 004 005 099 006 999 006 006 005 006
006"
SETVAR WHO POS(LFT("!HPUSER",2),"!DEPTLIST")
IF WHO <> 0 THEN
  SETVAR MAX STR("!MAXULIST",!WHO,3)
ELSE
  SETVAR MAX "002"
ENDIF
FILE INPUT;MSG;REC=-80
SHOWJOB JOB=!HPUSER.!HPACCOUNT;EXEC > *INPUT
SETVAR LOGONCNT 0
WHILE FINFO("INPUT",19) > 0
  INPUT LINE < *INPUT
  SETVAR SCRP POS("#S","!LINE")
  IF SCRP > 0
    SETVAR LOGONCNT !LOGONCNT + 1
  ENDIF
ENDWHILE
SETVAR MAX !MAX + 0
PURGE INPUT,TEMP
RESET INPUT
IF LOGONCNT > MAX THEN
  ECHO ** You have exceeded the maximum logon count (!MAX) **
  BYE
ENDIF

Jeff,

I wrote this up several years ago; I think the OS version was 3.0 so it
probably could be
"prettied" up some.  I never actully put it into production as I wound up
having to write a
whole password system so I just embedded the function in that program.
Anyhow maybe it
could be a foundation you could build on.

Where it tests number of logons you could qualify by user I s'pose.
If nothing else it's free.
