Script to Determine Users Connected to Oracle Apps and For Imitating Users

Question

I found this great script (Note:430948.1 on Metalink) to track users connected to the E-Business Suite.
My colleague though noticed that users who had shut their browsers without logging off or those users who had 'timed out of their session' would still come back in the report.
He wanted an accurate measure of who was in fact using the e-Business suite.
We took the original query and added the last line (below). It basically takes the ‘last connect’ time and adds 60 minutes to it to figure out who is ‘validly’ still connected.
select distinct ic.disabled_flag, fu.user_name User_Name,fr.RESPONSIBILITY_KEY Responsibility, fu.user_name,fu.user_id, fu.description, fu.employee_id,
ic.responsibility_application_id, ic.responsibility_id, ic.org_id, ic.function_type, ic.counter, ic.first_connect, ic.last_connect,
ic.nls_territory, ic.time_out, fr.menu_id, fr.responsibility_key
from apps_fnd.fnd_user fu,
apps_fnd.fnd_responsibility fr, apps_fnd.icx_sessions ic
where fu.user_id = ic.user_id AND
fr.responsibility_id = ic.responsibility_id AND
ic.disabled_flag='N' AND
ic.responsibility_id is not null AND
ic.last_connect > sysdate - (ic.time_out/60)/96
Can anybody see any issues with this query? or a better way to do this?
It looks like Oracle runs a clean up script to wipe out sessions after a certain amount of time so they are no longer active sessions - so this works around that.

The output is the same from my workstation after loading the PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010
