Yes, this is my problem too... It's because of this I need my script.
With it - connected to Asterisk Manager Interface - I can know how
server/extension are ringing/ring/busy/idle. But I have another
problem, the Manager Interface doesn't have an event for the "pickup"
app...
I was thinking in patch the manager interface to catch this event
too... but I'm not the best person to do it... :)
Any help!?

Regards.
