Ruby on Rails

The exact requirement is, the rails app will be hosted in the lan
itself. And when the user/employee opens the home page of the
application, an action should be triggered and it should fetch the
logged in user name(here logged name means the user who is using the
machine), and the same thing(saying so and so user logged in) should
be noticed to the admin.

One idea i am having is if it is a linux machine i have to use the
'who' command and parse the output. but what for windows system? And
what are the ways to execute the linux commands in a rails app?

Anybody come across this sort of situation already?
