asterisk users - Jun 2010 - Sangoma - how to show channels in use?

Hi,

I have several 1.4.29 installations with Sangoma AFT101d cards.  Normally 
we have been collecting the raw data and then graphing channel use for 
these customers with:

asterisk -rx 'show channels' | cut -f1 -d' ' | grep Zap | sort
-u | wc -l

Then I recently noticed that there were some "zombie" calls in this
list
that were not actually active anymore.  They go away if I restart 
asterisk, but in the meantime channel use appears artificially inflated.

I am wondering if there is a better method, perhaps with Sangoma CLI 
tools, to show which channels are ACTUALLY in use?  I played around with 
wanpipemon but that doesn't really give channel specific info.

Any clues?  I posted on the Sangoma forums also...

Thanks!

Since you are already grepping, just add a grep -e zombie (you should
probably go ahead and do "core show channels" instead of "show
channels"
since this will bite you at some time in the future).
