[Freeswitch-users] System global mode variable

[Steven Ayre]

Are you planning to change this at runtime? I seem to remember a post on
the mailing list from very long time ago (years) changing global variables
that were being read at the same time had a small risk of a race condition
that might segfault.

If so that has almost certainly been fixed by now, but if not you could
also look at using mod_hash or mod_db.

Your simple script can be done in xml by the way without lua using inline
api calls in the condition's field attributes. Entirely personal preference
which you use. Lua will fetch the variable just once so dies have that
advantage.
