I have an Ubuntu Desktop running asterisk 1.6 and dahdi.
I want to monitor channel d because sometimes my channels are down and i want to receive some e-mail or text message when that happens. Is it possible to do that?

Bit concerened that you are runner asterisk on a desktop os hopefully xserver is shutdown.
as to monitoring you need to use nagios or the like to check the status
Can’t I do a shell script to do some monitoring to the Channel D, and in some cases it can alert me by email? If anyone could help me with the script, maybe i can run a job in cron to run that script at the time i define and if something is wrong (in alert for example) it sends me an email, or sms…

You could use an script and a cron job, in combination with the command dahdi show channels, if your channels are up usually the output will be
asteriskCLI> dahdi show channels

if your the output is different then your script should send an email
Channel D is is not an Asterisk channel. It is the signalling channel on ISDN.
(As such one needs to be a lot more precise about what information one wants to extract from it. Asterisk won’t provide for monitoring the raw channel, except as debug logging.)
