So, assuming that they have individual OS accounts, you should be able to see processes using variations of the ps command. Beyond that, you will have to discuss this with your software vendor. They may well have internal logging in place.
What sort of information are you after? It is just "When were they last logged on?" there are easy ways, such as the last command. If it is "What was the last value they altered within the application?" then that's a little bit bigger and it depends what logging is built in.
If they all share one OS login account, then that's a pretty bad design. You may be able to get some idea base on the address they connect from, but then the application logs will likely just all be a mush.

GMTLOGO(1gmt) Generic Mapping Tools GMTLOGO(1gmt)
NAME
gmtlogo - Adding a GMT graphics logo overlay to an illustration
SYNOPSIS
gmtlogo dx dy [ -Gfill ] [ -W[pen] ] >> plot.ps
DESCRIPTION
This scrips appends the GMT logo to an "open" PostScript file. The logo is 2 inches wide and 1 inch high and will be positioned with the
lower left corner at the position (dx,dy) relative to the current plot origin.
OPTIONS
-G Select color or pattern for filling the underlying box [Default is no fill]. (See SPECIFYING FILL below).
-W Set pen attributes for the outline of the box [Default is no outline]. (See SPECIFYING PENS below).
SPECIFYING PENS
pen The attributes of lines and symbol outlines as defined by pen is a comma delimetered list of width, color and texture, each of which
is optional. width can be indicated as a measure (points, centimeters, inches) or as faint, thin[ner|nest], thick[er|est],
fat[ter|test], or obese. color specifies a gray shade or color (see SPECIFYING COLOR below). texture is a combination of dashes
`-' and dots `.'.
SPECIFYING FILL
fill The attribute fill specifies the solid shade or solid color (see SPECIFYING COLOR below) or the pattern used for filling polygons.
Patterns are specified as pdpi/pattern, where pattern gives the number of the built-in pattern (1-90) or the name of a Sun 1-, 8-,
or 24-bit raster file. The dpi sets the resolution of the image. For 1-bit rasters: use Pdpi/pattern for inverse video, or append
:Fcolor[B[color]] to specify fore- and background colors (use color = - for transparency). See GMT Cookbook & Technical Reference
Appendix E for information on individual patterns.
SPECIFYING COLOR
color The color of lines, areas and patterns can be specified by a valid color name; by a gray shade (in the range 0-255); by a decimal
color code (r/g/b, each in range 0-255; h-s-v, ranges 0-360, 0-1, 0-1; or c/m/y/k, each in range 0-1); or by a hexadecimal color
code (#rrggbb, as used in HTML). See the gmtcolors manpage for more information and a full list of color names.
