[asterisk-users] Determining if a queue member is paused in Dialplan logic. [1.8]

[John Kiniston]

Thank you Kevin, I've looked at your solution and while I agree it's not
ideal it does appear to be something that might work for me.

I'll see if I can maybe backport the QUEUE_MEMBER stuff to 1.8 from 11.

I'm also exploring an idea with a co-worker of using an AMI listener that
will fire off actions in response to the member being paused and doing
things that way.

I looked at parsing the log but sadly the log uses the Member Name in the
log instead of the actual device so I don't have a way of knowing what
handset they are logged into the queue from.
