The python script "manager.py", which I wrote, does exactly this. It's 
opens a manager port and watches everything and updates internal 
representations of channels, registry and voicemail messages. Althought 
manager.py can execute commands, this is not really needed to get all 
channel status. You just have to sit, watch, parse and sometimes to 
rename things.

manager.py is part of DeStar, but it works standalone as well.
