To address the 5th point of your steps, just use the mail utility if you have it installed on your system. Check its man page for detail.
As far as the 8th point, I would approach it in the following manner;

Outside the loop do this:
Code:
if [ "`eval echo $idletimes`" != "" ]; then
  eval TUSRS=`wc -l $idletimes |awk '{ print $1 }'`
  USRS=""
fi

Inside the loop to the following:
Code:
if [ "`evel echo $USRS`" = "" ]; then
  eval USRS=`ehco $idletimes |sed 15q`
else
  if [ `eval echo $TUSRS` -gt `eval echo $USRS` ]; then
     PLINE=`eval expr '$TUSRS' - '$USRS'`
     NUSRS=`sed '$USRS,$PLINE!d'`
  fi
fi

The last block of code needs to be within a loop for it to work appropriately. This should work fine, but if you have problems let me know. I have not tested it because I have no access to an AIX server.
By the way, the points that you have already taken care of can be improved to be more efficient...
