Re: Finding out if Mac is starting up

[Malcolm Smith <indyimac@crystallineconcepts.com>]

You can use "uptime" to see how long the system has been running.

To see if a user just logged in, get their user name (whoami) and then  
"last username" will display a list of times that they logged in.
These are all console commands so you could do them in a shell.

There is probably a more elegant method.

Cheers,
