( but he dont need to login my application). So we have two tasks here 1. Detect that someone is online. 2. Send a message. ad 1) as Dan pointed out there is no general way that would reliably work. ad 2) you do not state what kind of message is to be send. But considering futility of 1 it's probably not worth digging deeper into 2 either. Kind regards robert
