How to make a player detector logging system using MiscPeripherals?

when a player right-clicks the block an os.pullEvent() is triggered. all you have to do is assign a variable to the player() event and check that against a list of names.

while true do
event, user = os.pullEvent("player")
  if player == "StarburstDude" then
   rs.setOutput("nack", true)
  end
end

while true do
  event, user = os.pullEvent("player")
  if user then
	print(user)
	rs.setOutput("back", true) -- change back to whatever side you want the redstone signal to be emitted
  end
end

pDetector = peripheral.wrap("left") -- change left to whatever side its on

where did you get the player variable…
should be something like this

event, user = os.pullEvent("player")
if user == "StarburstDude" then
-- do something
end

This would check if it's only for the username "StarburstDude", if you want it to print it on the screen + send out a redstone signal no matter who it is:

while true do
  event, user = os.pullEvent("player")
  if user then
	print(user)
	rs.setOutput("back", true) -- change back to whatever side you want the redstone signal to be emitted
  end
end

Also, I'm not sure if this is required for the player detector, but make sure you wrap the player detector as a peripheral using

pDetector = peripheral.wrap("left") -- change left to whatever side its on

Again, I'm not familiar with it so I'm not sure if it's required ;)/>

while true do
  event, user = os.pullEvent("player")
  if user then
    print(user)
    rs.setOutput("back", true)
    print("user: " .. user)
  end
end

Also,is it possible to have the usernames logged onto a program?What I mean is like the usernames are saved a "log program" which is just a list of the usernames and the time they joined. It'd be great If I could know,

Just to expand on what W00dyR stated, you cannot get the real time, only the Minecraft world time. So use os.day() as well as os.time() so that you know when and on what day.

To expand even more: I think you should even be able to use those two functions, do some math and calculate the real time. Seeing as every minecraft day lasts a certain amount of time, by adding a initial "zero" point (like, todays date) you should be able to calculate it.
