<div><div dir="ltr">Thank you very much guys for your contributions.<br><br>I m doing it as a module for couple of reasons, being the<br>most important (i believe) performance, because the module<br>i m working on is to do real time charging of voice calls on a switch<br>that is already serving as a RBT service plus a bunch of IVR's to purchase<br>services, this is for a ~150K user base on a single machine (cold standby)<br>this switch is also scheduled to soon start providing hosted PBX services, <br>so going the script direction<br>i personally dont see that as an option at all. I do use scripts for small no so much used<br>much simpler stuff though, e.g: a lua script takes care of authenticating users<br>when doing international calls from company extensions in the hosted PBX solution.<br><br>The other reason i chose to do<br>this as a module because C is the language i feel more comfortable with. <br>i hope this clarifies i little bit this.<br><br>Moving on, right now i m developing on a test freeswitch that we have and yes i noticed<br>that subscribing to the CS_INIT event does represent a big problem<br>because i get notified for every single of those events that is generated on<br>freeswitch which would be very inconvenient because as i mentioned, the same<br>switch does many other things that i m not interested in, so i m going to try the advise<br>provided and try to do it in the dial plan, i will explore this option. <br><br>thank you very much all!<br><br><br><br><br><br><div>> Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2015 14:19:51 +0100<br>> From: <a href="mailto:ssinyagin@gmail.com" target="_blank">ssinyagin@gmail.com</a><br>> To: <a href="mailto:freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org" target="_blank">freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org</a><br>> Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] sessions and CS_INIT events<div><div class="h5"><br>> <br>> but for the task that OP has described, writing (and maintaining it in<br>> the long term) a module is really an overkill.
