[Freeswitch-users] freeswitch.EventConsumer, can be utilized event-based

[Matthew Fong]

Got a few more questions about running LUA scripts, please forgive me, I'm
an absolute newbie with LUA.
If I want to subscribe to a custom event, and I use

con = freeswitch.EventConsumer("CUSTOM my::event");

I get an error. Is this because I must subscribe to the CUSTOM (only) event,
and then filter out the events using the Event-Subclass myself? Or am I
missing something in the syntax of the subscribe?

Also, if I do not have a freeswitch.Session, what is the best way to have my
LUA script sleep? I want a functionality, where a statement inside my LUA
script gets iterated every 30 seconds. My program does not use a session, so
I cannot use session:execute("sleep","1000"), as suggested in the wiki. I
tried api::sleep(30000) and a few other combinations with execute but no
luck :(.

Thanks.
