as we discussed last(?) week, it is quite the challenge to capture
logoffs -- given all the different ways it can be done. you could
always write a udc for 'bye' with the understanding that it's not a
complete solution.

i wrote a little something awhile ago for *logons* (since folks around
here seem to be more interested in who is on the system than not). in
my system logon udc, i have the following:

if hpjobtype = "S"
announce
endif

here's the announce script:

setvar _an_where 'unknown'

# a telnet (23) or vt connection
if hpremipaddr > ''
setvar _an_where hpremipaddr
if hplocport = 23
setvar _an_where _an_where + " (T)"
else
setvar _an_where _an_where + " (V)"
endif
elseif hpdtcportid > ''
# dtc connection
setvar _an_where hpdtcportid + " (D)"
elseif hpldevin = 20
setvar _an_where 'console (20)'
elseif hpldevin = 21
setvar _an_where 'modem (21)'
endif

tellop $$$/!hpjobname/!_an_where/!hpintrodate/!hpintrotime
deletevar _an@

this very nicely ties a session (id and number) to an ip address (in
most cases) and puts it (ultimately) into the system console logs. the
'$$$' makes searching the logs very easy.
