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

[Matthew Fong]

I know before I asked about blocking for an event, and maybe I should have
created a new topic..
but now I want to actually sleep (rather than block) for a set time
frame...this app will not be consuming events.

can I get an example of how to use msleep in a lua script? This lua script
will be running in the background, and not part of a session or event
consumer. Thanks.
