On the Mac and on Windows, it's very easy for us to say "Is there someone
logged in" as in "Is there a screen floating around that says "press 
control-alt-delete" to login". 

On most other platforms, are you OK with just the output of the 'w' command
(ie how many valid entries in the utmp file)? We could try and go one further,
and figure out of the machine is at an xdm/gnome-login/kde-login prompt, though
it could make for a messy startd ad
