The script is executing in the foreground and is being executed on your channel.<br><br>You cannot tell the channel to do something else because it's already running your script so<br>it can only run something else on top of it.<br>
<br>you have 2 choices:<br><br>1) use the socket app in async mode and external scripts with an ESL plugin.<br>2) instead of executing the script on the session launch a script in a sep thread with the current uuid<br> ad an argument then execute park and let the script control the channel remotely<br>
<br>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.<br> <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 3:02 PM, Tjardick van der Kraan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tjardick@vanderkraan.net">tjardick@vanderkraan.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I'm trying to create a lua script but would like a certain task (music<br>
on hold) to be 'backgrounded':<br>
<br>
-- Loop while the call is active<br>
while (session:ready() == true) do<br>
-- do something here<br>
session:execute("playback", moh)<br>
freeswitch.consoleLog("INFO","Started music on hold.\n");<br>
-- do some stuff while playing music<br>
session:sleep(30000);<br>
-- Maybe we need a way to stop music or playback will stop<br>
automatically?<br>
session:execute("playback", "/sounds/we_will_answer_asap.wav")<br>
freeswitch.consoleLog("INFO","Play'ed announcement.\n");<br>
end<br>
<br>
"ofcourse" currently the only thin that happens is the music and my<br>
loop does not continue.<br>
Is there a way to start/stop music in the background?<br>
<br>
I guess in Asterisk language i will need the command StartMusicOnHold...<br>
<br>
Thanks for any suggestions.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Tj<br>
