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.

NAME
ds.log - Availability Suite data services log file
DESCRIPTION
The /var/adm/ds.log file contains the Availability Suite data services command log. The administration commands log activities to the file
in the format:
date time product: message
Note that when the size of the log file exceeds 10 Mbytes, ds.log is renamed /var/adm/ds.log.bak and a new /var/adm/ds.log file is cre-
ated.
The ds.log fields are:
date
The date format is mmm nn, where mmm is the local three-character abbreviation for the month and nn is the day of the month on which
the event occurred.
time
The time of the event, in hh:mm:ss format.
product
A product code that identifies which component of the data services produced the event. The code is separated from the message that
follows by a colon (:) and a space.
message
A message that can extend over more than one line describing the event that occurred. The second or following lines are not pre-
fixed by the date, time, and product code strings.
EXAMPLES
The example below shows sample ds.log file content:
Jan 25 05:26:17 ii: iiboot suspend cluster tag <none>
Jan 25 05:32:02 ii: iiboot resume cluster tag <none>
