Simple loop to mail all active users.

Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
Send a fortune to all active/logged in users

2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
So I understand I need to use the who command to see all the active users online. Then mail those users a fortune using the built in fortune command. The issue I'm having is how I would put this into a for loop?
Do I simply create a log of all active users and awk that? I'm sorry I am having a really hard time with shell scripting and cant grasp my head around the logic behind this simple one line of code.

3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):
Modesto Junior College, Modesto (CA), US, Dale Phillips, and CMSCI-210:

Thank you for the help. I know theres not to much information but thats why im here Smilie

. Try and get a push in the right direction.

CREATE TEXT SEARCH 
TEMPLATE(7)					   SQL Commands 				    CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE(7)

NAME

       CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE - define a new text search template

SYNOPSIS

       CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE name (
	   [ INIT = init_function , ]
	   LEXIZE = lexize_function
       )

DESCRIPTION

       CREATE  TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE creates a new text search template. Text search templates define the functions that implement text search dic-
       tionaries. A template is not useful by itself, but must be instantiated as a dictionary to be  used.  The  dictionary  typically  specifies
       parameters to be given to the template functions.

       If a schema name is given then the text search template is created in the specified schema. Otherwise it is created in the current schema.

       You  must  be a superuser to use CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE. This restriction is made because an erroneous text search template definition
       could confuse or even crash the server.	The reason for separating  templates  from  dictionaries  is  that  a  template  encapsulates  the
       ``unsafe''  aspects of defining a dictionary.  The parameters that can be set when defining a dictionary are safe for unprivileged users to
       set, and so creating a dictionary need not be a privileged operation.

       Refer to in the documentation for further information.

PARAMETERS

       name   The name of the text search template to be created. The name can be schema-qualified.

       init_function
	      The name of the init function for the template.

       lexize_function
	      The name of the lexize function for the template.

       The function names can be schema-qualified if necessary. Argument types are not given, since the argument list for each type of function is
       predetermined. The lexize function is required, but the init function is optional.

       The arguments can appear in any order, not only the one shown above.

COMPATIBILITY

       There is no CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE statement in the SQL standard.
