These look like usable reports ... and combined with some filePro
code we can do wonders.

That said, it turns out that there is `userls` which can be used
to extract the same information directly from command prompt.
Of course, the output does not look pretty but combined with `awk`
there is a chance one can create a nice report.

Thanks;
