Back in the 90's we used finger - IIRC it would tell you the last machine someone logged into, which could be in the lab

Someone wrote a script to finger everyone in the entire CS department and tell when the lab was busy, by counting people logged in.

This work fine, except for on intro courses where some labs had lots of non-CS majors in them.
