We are building an app that will initiate outbound calls using .call

These calls will go through an Asterisk service with other calls/apps
running.
I need to control the MAX number of channels in use so I don't overload
this server. What is the best way to ensure I stay within an arbitrary
limit (eg: 10 simultaneous call files in process at once)?
The call files will be written to the spool directory by a bash file, so
ideally the bash file should have visibility into the number of .call
files in process.
Use the Asterisk manager instead.
Or do something like:
asterisk -rx'core show channels'|grep "active channels"|cut -d' ' -f1
and either store the output in a variable or pipe it to a file.
The other alternative would be to do "core show channels concise"|grep
accountcode (where accountcode is what you originated the call with) and
then do a "wc -l" on the output to count the lines.
That's the cue for someone to explain some cleaner way to do it with a
single bash command :-)
