a) which level
b) what user? ("you"/daemon user or somebody else on the system)

Bash level:
- whoami (who am I?)
- finger (who's on atm?)

Source level
- KUser (whoami)
- ksmserver has aa finger-a-like check on shutdown, no idea how it's
  implemented (probably not using a portable lib call?!)

But maybe you don't even have to?

"crontab -e", "sleep 600; do_some" in ~/.xprofile?

Cheers,
Thomas
