Here is a command file that tests whether there are sessions logged on in the
group passed to the command file in the ACCOUNT_NAME parameter. You should be
able to put the logic into your job. Replace the ECHO statements at the end
with whatever you want to do in either situation. It's not very pretty, but it
works:

PARM ACCOUNT_NAME
SETVAR SESSACCT_SESSIONSON FALSE
PURGE SESSACFL,TEMP > $NULL
BUILD SESSACFL;REC=-80,,F,ASCII;DISC=10000;TEMP;MSG
SHOWJOB [log in to unmask] > SESSACFL
SETVAR SESSACCT_EOF FINFO("SESSACFL","EOF")
SETVAR SESSACCT_LINENUM 0
WHILE SESSACCT_LINENUM < SESSACCT_EOF AND NOT SESSACCT_SESSIONSON
   SETVAR SESSACCT_LINENUM SESSACCT_LINENUM + 1
   INPUT SESSACCT_LINE < SESSACFL
   ECHO !SESSACCT_LINENUM
   IF "![LFT(SESSACCT_LINE,2)]" = "#S" THEN
      SETVAR SESSACCT_SESSIONSON TRUE
   ENDIF
ENDWHILE
IF SESSACCT_SESSIONSON THEN
   ECHO There are sessions currently logged on in the !ACCOUNT_NAME account
ELSE
   ECHO There are NO sessions currently logged on in the !ACCOUNT_NAME account
ENDIF
DELETEVAR SESSACCT_@
PURGE SESSACFL,TEMP > $NULL
