The same general principle applies. You need to get a UID or similar from a specific user, or you have to check all connected TTYs and just pick a random user out of the users logged in. Most systems today are multi-user so the notion of 'the user logged in' doesn't make sense system-wide. I think the best way to solve this is to use a client-server approach. Have a deamon/service run in the background, and then have a client started at login that pings the server and notifies it of your presence.
