Check User Login Status Script

The document provides a shell script to check if a specified user is currently logged in. It includes two methods: one that writes the output of the 'who' command to a file and checks for the username, and another that directly counts occurrences of the username in the output of 'who'. Both methods output whether the user is logged in or not based on the results.
