asterisk users - Feb 2013 - Asterisk AMI - Create a daemon (background process)

I wanted to create a daemon (background process) in PHP. A daemon will use
socket to connect with Asterisk AMI to send events and listen the actions.

A daemon will also listen the commands from agents via HTTP, for example:
 A agent pressed a hang up button on a browser - it will send http command
to a daemon.  A daemon received a command and will then send Hang Up Action
to AMI.

How should a daemon process be designed to listen multiple actions and
events? For example: 50 agents currently on the calls and how should a
daemon to monitor the Actions/Events from 50 agents?

You may want to take a look to the Elastix CallCenter code. This project has a
daemon component to implement the autodialer, written in PHP. This code already
solves the AMI connection issue and the multiple agent issue.

You don't want to use PHP for your daemon, change to another scripting 
language (EG: python).

May be of use to you. Just dug it out of my subversion repo of useful bits so
make need some poking (excuse the pun) to get it running. No warranty etc etc.
