[asterisk-users] debugging hints in 1.6

[Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak]

Hi,

I use hints to drive the LEDs on my snom phones, something like:

exten => 
601,1,Dial(SIP/mjc_office&SIP/mjc_home&SIP/mjc_lab&SIP/mjc_server&SIP/mjc_library,20,trj)
exten => 601,2,Voicemail(601 at internal,u)
exten => 601,102,Voicemail(601 at internal,u)
exten => 
601,hint,SIP/mjc_office&SIP/mjc_home&SIP/mjc_lab&SIP/mjc_server&SIP/mjc_library

Sometimes asterisk gets confused, though, and reports my extension as 
in-use, even though no channels are active. Dialing something makes the 
hint report "inactive" - the states are inverted, in other words.

How can I debug that? Can I display the individual states of each sip 
line (SIP/mjc_office, SIP/mjc_home, etc) comprising the hint? Has anyone 
seen similar behavior?
