[Freeswitch-users] Running a session asynchronously from a Lua script

[Brian West]

I wouldn't do it like that...

I would let FreeSWITCH do what its good at and stop trying to create and manage sessions manually.

-- You can optionally answer but you need to set transfer_ringback instead of ringback.
session:setVariable("ringback", "local_stream://moh");                                                                                                          
session:setVariable("ignore_early_media", "true");                                                                                                              
session:execute("bridge","user/1007");  

Which can also be expressed in pure XML as such:

<extension name="1234">
  <condition field="destination_number" expression="^1234$">                                                                                                
    <action application="set" data="ringback=local_stream://moh"/>
    <action application="set" data="ignore_early_media=true"/>
    <action application="bridge" data="user/1007"/>
  </condition>
</extension>

There is really no need to do this with Lua.  The XML dialplan can do some VERY complex things once you wrap your head around it.

In addition I would recommend you get the latest 1.0.5 build http://files-sync.freeswitch.org/windows_installer/  Its tagged as 1.0.4 and shouldn't be.
