[asterisk-users] Manager Originate without phone off hook?

I'm trying to keep the DND status of my Snom phones and the astdb in
line but I'm stuck on integrating my gui DND button which talks to *
using the manager interface (actually it uses Astmanproxy as the gui
host is on a different network to asterisk and can't see the Snom's
across the network).

All's working fine in my Dialplan; when someone dials the code for
DND-on or DND-off I can do:

....
exten => *08,n,System(wget -qb -O /dev/null -o /dev/null
"http://admin:secret@${MYSNOM}/dummy.htm?settings=save&dnd_mode=off")
exten => *08,n,Set(DB(DND/SIP/${MYSNOM})=0)
....

which turns the DND indicator on the phone off or on in line with the
database record. That's Great.

However, I'm completely flummoxed on getting a GUI DND button to work
sensibly via the Manager interface.

I could use 'Originate' to make the phone dial '*08' but that forces the
user to pickup the phone when they click the GUI DND button. Not Good :-(

So... can anyone suggest how I can use the Manager interface to set an
astdb record and send a request to the Snom to turn its DND indicator on
or off at the same time?

Thanks in advance.
