asterisk users - Aug 2008 - Get call status and hangup

Hello,
I am looking for a way to check if a call could be established with the
"destination"  (SIP,IAX,ZAP). 
So I thought about an application like DIAL but instead it should return
a variable and hangup immediately as soon as it gets something that
could lead to a valid connection "ringing..." 

Is there something like this that could be used in Asterisk or can
anyone recommend a different/better solution? 

Best regards,
Loic Didelot.

I don't know if it's exactly what you want, but you can monitor the
status of a
given user using the Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI), through the events
NewState, PeerStatus, Hangup.
