Hello,
I have modified a script written by lgaetz (BIG THANKS!!) to poll hints from remote PBXs. The script is in PHP and I have gotten it to work but I think it needs some optimization. It takes a few seconds to perform the poll and I think it may have something to do with it constantly connecting and disconnecting the the AGI_AsteriskManager session. I did a test in a lab environment of about 10 remote extensions that have a 30/30 Mbps low latency connection between sites (metro ethernet) and it took about two seconds to run. The number of extensions polled does appear to impact run time (but not by too much).
Code is below:

* Usage:
* This script is meant to be used on a FreePBX system running version 2.9 or higher. When
* executed, the script polls a remote Asterisk server, checks the status of a specific
* extension on the remote server, and then updates a local hint to the same value. A
* comma seperated list of remote extensions can be specified to poll multiple remote
* extensions.

$cmd = $astman->Command('devstate change '.$str1.$remote_ext.' UNKNOWN');
}
} else {
echo "Can not connect to local AGI";

I am looking forward to hearing any input or suggestions on how to optimize this modification.
Please keep in mind I am by no means a programmer 
Thanks!
