[asterisk-users] extenspy and chanspy

[Brian J. Murrell]

I want to add to my dialplan the ability to spy on an arbitrary
extension whether a call originates at it or is terminated at it.

Scenario 1: Given an extension, say 2001, a call comes in on a zap
channel and is Dial()ed to the phone that's at extension 2001, I want to
be able to pick up a phone and dial (say) *142001 and spy on that call.

Scenario 2: Extension 2001 makes a call to, say a zap channel, again, I
want to be able to pick up a phone and dial *142001 and spy on that
call.

ExtenSpy(<exten>@<context>) seems like the obvious first choice but it
requires a context and an extension.  I think that can work for scenario
2 but not scenario 1, yes?  An extension "answering" a call doesn't have
a context does it?

Alternatively I could use SPYGROUP and assign a SPYGROUP when an
outbound call is made but I think I would need some way for Dial to set
a SPYGROUP when an extension answers wouldn't I?

Does anyone have an implementation of this they'd like to share?
