asterisk users - Mar 2009 - How to verify availability of the DID connection?

Hi all, 
Occasionally, DIDs from different providers stop working for some reason. 
I would like to be able to monitor situations like that and react before any of
my clients start going ballistic on me.
Any ideas? Scripts you know of or wrote and willing to share? 
Any info?would be greatly appreciated. 
?

I am doing this with Nagios and some bash scripts but plan to start doing this
with Nagios and snmp. The bash script came from

Go to http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+tips+and+tricks and try some of
the Dial Plan solutions.  You can probably find something to your liking
that will work with little or no tweaking.

Hi all,

Occasionally, DIDs from different providers stop working for some reason.

I would like to be able to monitor situations like that and react before any
of my clients start going ballistic on me.

Any ideas? Scripts you know of or wrote and willing to share?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Are you losing DIDs that terminate on your Asterisk box or your clients 
Asterisk box?

Are these DIDs registering with Asterisk and are you re-registering often 
enough?

Is it a problem within the providers? Can you port the DIDs to another 
provider?

Why do the DIDs stop working? Is is a connectivity problem you could 
detect with something like "ping" or "Nagios?"

Since you say "different providers" I'm thinking a general
connectivity
problem or something "generally" out of whack with registrations.

Thanks in advance,

All these questions are valid, though I want first to see that the DID does not
work then I will go and try to resolve it.
I do not have a specific issue at this moment.

Sincerely,
