If you execute the dumpchan() application from an AGI, the output is still 
via Asterisk's logging mechanism.

If your logging level is high enough, that output will be logged. If you 
log to syslogd, it will be as a single line. I don't know what it looks 
like if you log to files.

In any case, I'd say this is a bad approach because the 'verbosity' level 
is too volatile. Some people (me), automagically* bump up verbosity when 
they access the Asterisk console and then automagically set it back to 0 
when they exit the console.

Perhaps executing dumpchan() via AMI would be more promising.

*) Via shell scripting.
