If your dialplan does not poll the filesystem / database for each call,
consider actively flipping a flag in Asterisk. This can be done by
setting a value in the Asterisk database or setting a global variable
through the manager interface or or a call file.

Someone mentioned poking a hole. Unless you use sudo or something
euivalent then yes, the ability to generate a call today allows
quite too much.
