Using last is the better solution, but there needs to be some logic coded in. The problem is the case where the user has been logged in for more than 24 hours, last gives you something like:
chuckb xdmremote sunws6:0 Tue Mar 27 07:36 - 13:45 (2+06:08)
In this case I have been logged in for more 2 days, 6 hours and 8 minutes.
