Great! We will begin checking the code before submitting it.

The current idea is to expand to the functionality named in Ariel's
mail, we need to make the recording of a call an easy task, and doing
so through the GUI using what is already available in the "Active
Channels" submenu would work nicely.

We would really appreciate some tips, as we cant figure a way to
extend the "action" command to include the actions we need.

We don't understand where is "rawman", and how do you call it to make
it execute the code in the AMI (Asterisk manager interface). Is rawman
extensible? The commands used by it, are related to the AMI?

Like in:

We need to monitor (as in record) a channel. From 'manager show
commands', I see there are two commands for this, the "monitor" and
"stopmonitor" commands, which should do what i need.

So the idea would be to implement an action=record which would call
the monitor AMI command, and allow a recordstop or something
equivalent to stop it.

Can you, or Pari, give us a tip on where to look to start implementing this?

We read everything related to AJAM/AMI we could find, but there is not
much really useful to extend them, just to use what is already
available.

Regards and thanks in advance,
Leonardo
