if [ user = x]

elif [ user = y]

fi
fi

This will print a list of users logged in:
Code:
w -h | awk '{print $1}'

To get you started.

for user in ${MYUSERS}
do
        if [ $user = "khagan" ]; then
                echo "Username ${user} is logged in."
        else
                echo "Not who your looking for"

- Who's going to check if "Mark" or "John" has logged in ?
- Who runs "process1" or "process2" when "Mark" or "John" have logged in ?
