You should use session for check is someone logged.

You can change 'name' to admin if you want check is someone logged into admin.

require_once 'app/Mage.php';

Mage::app('default');

Mage::getSingleton('core/session', array('name' => 'frontend'));

$sessionCustomer = Mage::getSingleton("customer/session");

if($sessionCustomer->isLoggedIn()) {
  echo "Logged";
} else {
   echo "Not Logged";
}
