Description:	While trying to figure out what is actually going wrong with my SIP calls, I had no way to find out what variables are set in a session. I could do NoOp() of the known ones, but I didn't know anything about the unknown ones. This patch displays all known variables, global and channel specific. ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** I still don't know how to get this information later back in the program :-( <pre> -- Executing NoOp("SIP/edwin-8eca", "mghome") in new stack                                     ^^^^^^ </pre> but that has nothing to do with this feature request ;-)
Comments:	By: Edwin Groothuis (mavetju) 2004-10-19 06:38:28 Quick additional note: the reason it only works for verbose level > 2 is that it takes at least level 3 for the "Executing ... in new stack" to show up.

By: Tilghman Lesher (tilghman) 2004-10-19 16:21:59 Wouldn't this make more sense compiled as a separate module?  I see no overriding reason that this application needs to be loaded into the core.

By: Tilghman Lesher (tilghman) 2004-10-19 18:13:27 Ah, only for globals. By: Edwin Groothuis (mavetju) 2004-10-24 07:15:42 Did you get the disclaimer? By: Brian West (bkw918) 2004-10-24 11:42:45 I don't want to see this in the core... this and all the other apps that are in the core are going to be taken out and put in app_pbx.c or something. bkw By: Tilghman Lesher (tilghman) 2004-10-24 21:59:19 bkw- That's actually going to be kind of difficult, given the nature of the global variable linked list, unless we make the linked list an "extern".  Let's get Mark's reaction to that change. By: Brian West (bkw918) 2004-10-26 00:02:19 This patch isn't needed anymore.. You can do show channel <CHANNELNAME> and it will list them all for you. bkw By: Edwin Groothuis (mavetju) 2004-10-26 00:18:33 There is no way to do a "show channel ..." when you're in a dialplan, and that's where you (specially if you're trying to figure out why sip-calls aren't going through to the right voicemail box) need to know the status of all variables in particular steps of the dialplan. And that is not possible to see with "show channel ...". It's like removeing the NoOp because you can see the value with "show channel ...".
