sumit30,
if I was you, based on the output of 'whoidle', I would probably lunch it with the option to get all the idle users in the system and save it to a file within the same directory with the script. supposing the option is '-a', it would something like this: 'whoidle -a' >ALL_IDLE_USERS
this code has not been tested on an AIX system. I tested it on my laptop using the sample data you supplied and it's working like a charm.
this is an elegant way of resolving your problem without the need for any complications: such as the 8th point.
in my opinion 8th point isn't necessary. thus, the code that I supplied to you the other time isn't needed because you are not dealing with a file or a variable that must continue growing.
for instance, if you were picking the idle users from a certain system-log-file which must continue growing as the system is running and logging various events, then you would need to have a way to loop through that file as long as it continues to increase. but your problem is much simple based on what I perceive from your explanation.
as far as I know, the technique that intend to use on point 8 is normally used to monitor specific regexs in a log-files.
NEXT TIME, I'M GONNA CHARGE YOU A FEE OR SOMETHING! lol; I am at home for over a year. I need to get paid....
