asterisk users - Aug 2007 - Howto generate a Manager Event from the Dialplan?

I'd like to be able to generate a Manager Event from the dialplan but
can't seem to find a way to do it.

Alternatively, trigger and Event when a record in AstDB gets changed.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Thanks.


By way of explanation, I've a app that connects to astmanproxy and I'd
like it to know when a call group gets put into Nightservice.  Putting
the call group into Nightservice is done in the dialplan and sets a
record in AstDB.  

It would be infriendly to poll AstDB; hence the requirement for the
dialplan to trigger an Event.

The call group could also be put into Nightservice by setting the
appropriate record directly in AstDB; hence the Event triggered on a
AstDB record change.
