This is not doing what you require:
Code:
elif [[ "$lastseen" = '^[a-ZA-Z]*$' ]] || [[ -z "$lastseen" ]];

See Parsing null or empty output: post #4

This validity check also looks out of place here as part of an elif statement, because in the if statements you are comparing timediff, not lastseen.

If anything it should probably occur as a separate if statement right after
Code:
 lastseen=$( ... )

But lastseen is a timestamp, not a serial number, so the error message seems not as exact as it might be?

Code:
if [[ "$timediff" -eq 0 ]] || [[ "$timediff" -lt 3600 ]];
echo "$timediff"
then exit 0;

Should be:
Code:
if [[ "$timediff" -eq 0 ]] || [[ "$timediff" -lt 3600 ]]
then 
  echo "$timediff"
  exit 0

or
Code:
if [[ $timediff -eq 0 || $timediff -lt 3600 ]]
then 
  echo "$timediff"
  exit 0

or
Code:
if (( timediff == 0 || timediff < 3600 ))
then

It is good to have proper indentation

Your script should test the validity of $1

XtUngrabPointer()														 XtUngrabPointer()

Name
  XtUngrabPointer - release an active pointer grab.

Synopsis
  void XtUngrabPointer(widget, time)
	   Widget widget;
	   Time time;

Inputs
  widget    Specifies the widget which has the active pointer grab.

  time	    Specifies the time at which the grab should end.  CurrentTime is acceptable.

Availability
  Release 4 and later.

Description
  XtUngrabPointer() releases an active pointer grab by calling XUngrabPointer() with the display of w and time.

  The  time  argument may be a timestamp or the constant CurrentTime.  If this time is earlier than the last-keyboard-grab time or later than
  the current server time the keyboard will not be ungrabbed.

  See XtGrabPointer() for more information on active pointer grabs.

Usage
  Most applications will never have to issue a pointer grab.  Note that the pointer is automatically grabbed between every button down	event
  and the corresponding button up event; this covers the case for which pointer grabs are most commonly needed.
