Having never heard of such functionality, I spent a minute on a crude
wrapper:
Copy this to /usr/local/bin/run_emc »
#!/bin/bash
# Wrapper to record who used emc, when, and for how long.
record=/var/tmp/emc_usage
[ ! -e $record ] && touch $record
# Nothing fancy == easy for anyone to customise:

echo Started EMC2 at: >> $record
date >> $record
/usr/bin/emc
echo Session ended at: >> $record
date >> $record
« - That's all.
Make it executable:
$ chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/run_emc
Try it out:
$ run_emc
OK, now we make swarf, then close the application.
To check the record:
$ more /var/tmp/emc_usage

That's an easy way to do it, given that you have individual user
accounts for us to pick up user identification.
Near enough for starters?
