[Freeswitch-users] Receive order guarantee for bgapi command replies over ESL?

[Anthony Minessale]

bgapi commands are asynchronous that means when you send the command
it spawns a thread and runs in the background.
When its complete it will send you the event, its completely dependent
on how long the task takes that you asked it to run.
Its no different that doing 12 wgets to a website in the bg, there is
no telling when they will be done.
