Plugins are only called when a new request is received... But, when you
initiate a plugin, you could possibly start a thread that will do the
job.

The issue is more about initiating calls: partysip have no way to initiate
outgoing requests without receiving one. The only way is to allocate a new
osip instance, attach new callbacks and all...

In fact, you surely don't need this in a plugin but you should instead
write a new application. If you need info from partysip, then you can
write info in a database updated by the new 'alarm' plugin. Then your new
application will use this info to send messages or whatever...

A sql plugin for writing info about users is already available in
partysip. You can probably extend it to write the additionnal info you
need and use this info in the external application.

I surely appreciate to see such application released in GPL :)
