To Enable SSH Login Notifications for every login.
edit
"/etc/bashrc"
and add at the bottom

/usr/bin/prowl.pl -apikey="YOUR API KEY" -application="prowl.pl" -event="Notification" -notification="SSH Login @Home User: `id`"

Send a Test Notification:

/usr/bin/prowl.pl -apikey="YOUR API KEY" -application="prowl.pl" -event="Notification" -notification="SSH Login @Home User: `id`"

Just Replace the "SSH Login @Home User: `id`" with your notifications...

Thats it.

If you Like you can enable a log

touch /var/log/prowl.log

chmod 755  /var/log/prowl.log

vi /etc/bashrc and add above your prowl script line

echo "###" >>/var/log/prowl.log
echo "`date`" >>/var/log/prowl.log
echo "SSH Login" >>/var/log/prowl.log
echo "`id`" >>/var/log/prowl.log

/usr/bin/prowl.pl -apikey="YOUR API KEY" -application="prowl.pl" -event="Notification" -notification="SSH Login @Home User: `id`"2>&1 >>/var/log/prowl.log
