I was thinking of a similar thing.  I am going to send my unix
unsers mail when they have an idle session for too long.

I haved toyed with the    query user   command.  It lists out all
the details you need, just need to write a script to do what you
want and email. I was going to do it on the unix side, but I
can't see why you couldn't do it on the NT side with perl.

If I get it going soon I will let you know.
