Yep, actually both of those commands.

Is there a better way possibly to retrieve this information? We use it 
to determine which of our agents are logged in and how many calls we 
have pending in each queue, aside from reinventing the wheel by 
creating our own queue app or adding hooks into the existing one making 
it a pain to upgrade I haven't come up with any way but to poll these 
constantly. Maybe someone is doing something similar and could give me 
a tip on the best way to go about this?

I've got my debugging enabled, so I guess I'll just have to wait now 
for it to happen again. I'm hoping that it does at least show something 
held up in the bt.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, I'll post as soon as it goes down 
again with the results of the bt. If there's anything else I should 
look for I'd be most grateful for the information.

Thanks again,
