[Asterisk-Users] sip channel status - how?

[Peter Hoppe]

Thank you very much for that hint! I am using asterisk-java at the 
moment to retrieve the channel information and I now have a way of 
retrieving such channel information sending a "sip show channels" 
command via the manager interface. I then parse the answer from the 
server. But it seems that "show channels consise" is an even better way. 
I have tried it and it gives me even better information about active 
channels. I'll investigate the documentation of that command.

Thank you so much for that excellent hint.

God bless

Peter
