if for example you had 4 trunks then the below should give you the  
active channels for each trunk plus  the total, in a cacti  
understandable output format.

#!/usr/bin/perl
($trunk1, $trunk2, $trunk3, $trunk4, $total) = (0,0,0,0,0);
@channels = split(/\n/, qx(/usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'core  
show channels concise'));
foreach $line (@channels) {
     $trunk1++ if ($line =~ m/trunk1/);
     $trunk2++ if ($line =~ m/trunk2/);
     $trunk3++ if ($line =~ m/trunk3/);
     $trunk4++ if ($line =~ m/trunk4/)
}
$total = $trunk1 + $trunk2 + $trunk3 + $trunk4;
print "trunk1:$trunk1 trunk2:$trunk2 trunk3:$trunk3 trunk4:$trunk4  
total:$total";
exit 0

am running this with cacti version 0.8.7b



Hope this helps. The cool thing with this is that you can really  
customize what you are graphing in cacti.
