I have submited a patch to Mantis (bug 2207) adding the seconds since
cdr->start on cli "show channel" and manager "status" commands.

It is only based on cdr->start so it can only show the timer for the
channel that started the call. (If I use my SIP phone to dial an
external number going via ZAP, the timer will be set only for the SIP
channel, not the ZAP channel also involved in the call). It would be
nice to have the timer in both channels... maybe someone with a clue can
extend/improve this little patch.
