asterisk users - Nov 2003 - Controlling asterisk in a dynamic way

Hi !
 
I'm just wondering if it is possible to control asterisk in a dynamic
way, such as, for example, signal to asterisk to give info about callers
that are queued ( like in a hotline, everybody is queued until somebody
take their call), and explicitly signal asterisks to redirect a
particular call to a computer through VoIP ( imagine a hotliner choosing
a call from a list of waiting calls and getting this one on his Computer
through VoIP).
 
I found information about dialplans | but they are all static ( conf
files), we would like them to be "user controlled", that is, a user
can
get the waiting call list at any time, and explicitly take one
particular call.
 
Thanks for your help !

Adrien

MessageI've always been keen for XmlRpc interface, currently I have no need
(hence cbf'd writing it) but wouldn't be a hard task. This would allow
easy
development of any tools to admin asterisk. (eg 3 lines of code to call a
xmlrpc function in php).

In response to your question, I believe there's some tools to view current
calls but not to redirect them, google for them.
