[Asterisk-Users] Monitor application

[Fettahlioglu, Mahmut]

Sorry about the delay for synchronised monitoring guys. It is actually quite
easy to implement, no major risks that I can see; the time is the only issue
at the moment. The project I was working on being just finished, I am
planning to catch up with non-work stuff such as this patch pretty soon.
