Andreas---

The CDR stuff is built to just generate data about a closed call.
There's no mechanisms available to 'interrupt' and generate state about
channels, or to split up CDRs into hour or 10-minute chunks. Such stuff
would eat up a lot of CPU cycles. If a call takes like a week to
complete, you'll have to PRAY that asterisk stays alive that long, so
you get the CDR.

You might be able to invent a neat little program to attach to the
asterisk manager interface, and monitor the calls going on, making
regular reports about 'long calls' (say, more than an hour).
