[Freeswitch-users] What is so dangeres in "freeswitch.msleep()" in LUA?

[Dmitry Saratsky]

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your reply.

The problem is that I need script to sleep, while session ready and transmits fax in same time until session will not be ready or fax transmitted. So I mean that I want script to sleep, not the session, just because my session may work in that time (transmit a fax). I think if I use session:sleep() in my case - my fax transmission will fail... Do you think I'm right? Do you think I can use freeswitch.msleep() in my case? And do you know which (if it will at all) troubles should I get?

Thanks,
Dmitry.

AFAIK it stops all processing of the call during the sleep, you should
use session:sleep()
