Regarding finger for VMS, I have no real recollection
of how we used
to gather idle time for the 'job' (collection of process and
subprocesses attached to the terminal).
The current DECUS VMS finger uses the last input from the
terminal (or maybe last input our output, I'd have to check).
This data isn't maintained for a lot of remote (network)
terminal sessions by default, but Brian Schenkenbrger wrote
a handler that gets loaded during boot to enable it for those
devices.
