The presence of a user is
The presence of a user is private information. Such information is only shared with his contacts (for which the user granted access to his presence).
Of course, if you are the server administrator, you can use administrative tools to know the presence of any user in the server.

Badlop,
I have the similar requirement that I have users registered online, and I need to know the presence status before sending user the chat session otherwise just email. Since the recipient has to accept the subscribe presence in order for me to request status, it's kind of inconvenience for the end user to accept my request. I want to do it automatically on behalf of the users.
Can you show me how to do it through the administrative tools? Do you know any 3rd party tools provide such method as well?
Thanks very much

By executing an ejabberd command in the shell. In this example user1 is connected, and user2 is offline:
You can query ejabberd commands using XML-RPC if you install ejabberd_xmlrpc, or using REST if you install mod_rest.
