asterisk users - May 2008 - update DB on ringing/ catch ringing event

Hello ppl,

Anyway in Asterisk to update a DB/ do some action on
events like ringing. 
The issue is I need to be able to hangup/cancel a
call, if it's ringing(decided by the admin). This is
independant of the timeout that we can specify in the
Dial command.

If I could somehow update a DB with the channel name
on ringing, it would solve my problem.

I assume NVlinedetect is one way to do it, but that
isn't visible anymore, more so for Asterisk 1.4 and
above.

Any bright ideas on this one?

cheers
- Ben.

I think there is no other solution but to listen to events on
the Asterisk manager interface.
