Are there such commands? Can't find anything on voip-info except Queues (but 
it doesn't seem to provide concise output).

Personally, i'm using Command action trough manager, and issuing "show 
channels concise" and "show queues". It takes a bit of regexp magics to parse 
output of "show queues", but that works. 

Btw, i got some patches that will make "show channels" and "show queues" to 
appear in RT tables, so that they can be queried a lot of times, and get 
updated instantly. They will work on trunk, but i also have backported 
support for MySQL INSERT/DELETE for 1.4 - i'm just waiting until i get to 
1.4.12 in my production, as that has some necessary changes for this all to 
work. If anybody is already interested, mail me.

Regards,
Atis
