(Incidentally, if you're looking for a "script" as in JavaScript, you're
in the wrong place.)

Hmm. Do you have a static IP address? If not, then you'll need to
communicate through something that you can find. So you'd want to have
a server somewhere that records the information. At that point, yes you
could manage this. You'd have to have something running at a known
location listening on a socket to let people know that you're online,
and have something on your own system notify the something at the known
location when you are online. The something at a known location would
probably also need to occasionally check the something on your own
system to ensure that it's still online.

If an applet is involved, be aware that it can only communicate with its
own web server, unless you jump through security loopholes.

Sorry to not be more specific; but you have a lot of design choices to
make before you are close to being able to get implementation advice.
