[Freeswitch-users] moh background in Lua

[Anthony Minessale]

The script is executing in the foreground and is being executed on your
channel.

You cannot tell the channel to do something else because it's already
running your script so
it can only run something else on top of it.

you have 2 choices:

1) use the socket app in async mode and external scripts with an ESL plugin.
2) instead of executing the script on the session launch a script in a sep
thread with the current uuid
    ad an argument then execute park and let the script control the channel
remotely

Even better reconsider what you want to do and avoid working against the
grain of how the existing architecture is flowing and you will have the best
results.
