If the person is not in your friends list, you could use a third party client, such as Phoenix or Imprudence.

Alternatively you can rez a prim, create a new script in its inventory, edit the script, delete the text, and paste the following script in:

 

string spy_on = "Ishtara Rothschild";  key reqid;startup(){    reqid = llHTTPRequest( "http://w-hat.com/name2key?terse=1&name=" +                               llEscapeURL(spy_on), [], "" );}default {    state_entry()                     { startup(); }    on_rez(integer meh)               { startup(); }    touch_start(integer total_number) { startup(); }    http_response(key id, integer status, list meta, string body)     {        if ( id != reqid ) return;        else llRequestAgentData(body, DATA_ONLINE);    }    dataserver(key id, string data)    {                if((integer)data > 0)            llOwnerSay(spy_on + " is currently online!");        else llOwnerSay(spy_on + " is offline.");    }}

 

You'll have to change the name in the first line to the name of the person whose online status you want to look up. After saving the script, and whenever you rez the prim out or touch it, it will inform you of the online status. Of course you can also attach it to your HUD and touch it to check, so you don't have to rez it inworld.

 

Edited to add: You can find more advanced online notificators that allow you to easily track multiple residents on the SL Marketplace.
