The "API":

  asterisk stats dump [noreset]

By default the stats will be collected (unless disabled at build time) -
the overhead for collecting them seems small enough (right?). However as
long as they are not dumped, nothing is reported to the Big Brother.

Dumps current stats (to standard output) and resets counters.

Setting up a cron job is simple. And this removes complexity from the
Asterisk process. It also removes unnecessary network connectivity from
the Asterisk process, and simplifies settings of whatever network
settings.
