asterisk users - Sep 2009 - Looking for a way to show caller id information on the desktop

Hi there.

My problem, I can't figure out how to ask this question.  So,
hopefully someone out here can point me to the FM on this.

I would like to have either a web page or an application that I can
view that whenever a call arrives on the Asterisk server
the application will display the callerid information.  I've found
quite a few examples of the reverse of this.  To where a
script is called to GET the callerid information, but that's not what
I'm looking for.

Is it possible, and if so, where should I start looking to find a
solution to this?  I've failed at google so far, and I think I'm just
not asking the right question.

Thanks for any help or pointers.

The asterisk GUI offers this.  To "Roll your own", simply do an
asterisk -rx
"core show channels" and filter that output to your browser.

A good friend of mine has Asterisk send a Jabber message with the
CallerID information of each incoming call.  That way, he can be at work
and see who is calling his home line.  That might be a quick and easy
way to do what you're looking for.  Otherwise, you're either using the
dialplan to push the information to a relational database (using
something like func_odbc), or using the Asterisk Manager Interface to
poll for the data.

As an ultra cheap way of doing it, you could simply output the caller-id to
a log file and display a "tail 20" of it on a web page.
Something like this:

exten => s,1,System(
echo"${EPOCH}|${CALLERID(num)}"
>>/var/log/asterisk/incoming )
It should be trivial to display the last n lines of it on a web page that
reloads automagically.
