Sorry to revive this already long thread...but I think the history is relevant as I am still stuck on the approach. I came across the perl POE "POE::Filter::FSSocket" and thought I might learn and use it. Thought it might be nice to help with the socket/threading issues...and avoid having to get down and dirty with them. However, in looking closer it appeared that nothing had really happened on it for about 4 years...then I read a post indicating that it was out of date and that Anthony's FreeSWITCH::CLient would be a better choice. I have been able to try out the perl FreeSWITCH Client example on the wiki and send out some calls using "bgapi"...but I am not sure how to handle the multiple threads. Would I just deal with all events in a loop similar to what is in the wiki client example? Now I am really confused as to how to tackle this. Not an expert with any particular language...but it seems that scripting may be nice from a maintenance point of view?? Any further thoughts or examples to get me on my way? I am really open as to the approach to take. Thanks So now I don't know what direction to go to get this started. Jan Berger wrote:
You don't need to pull a db these day's, you can use triggers to signal your application - a bit depending on what db you use and what scripting they offer beyond SQL.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
We would like to get over to linux with this.
I am still trying to get my head around how this generally works. I guess we would write a client to sit and run on the linux box where it could periodically check the DB and then talk sockets to FS to make the calls?
Can you point me to examples of talking sockets?

Glad to hear.
I still say to build the app and logic completely separately and connect
it
to FreeSWITCH over the socket using ESL.

We are not into harassing anyone. There are too many people doing that already.
We currently have this working on a Windows/Dialogic platform, but would like to get it over to FreeSWITCH for a number of reasons. It is always nice to avoid spending alot of time developing using a method that you later find has serious issues or limitations and then having to change horses and start over. I just thought I would tap on someone else's wisdom in regards to a good way to talk to FS that works well. I did notice that the wiki talks like LUA is the preferred way to go.
Thanks

Seriously, the world does not need another robodialer to harass people...
Agreed, however there are legitimate use cases for this, like a retailer calling to say an order is in, or reminder calls sent out by a doctor's office. But yes, if it's dialing for dollars then I'm with you: Por favor! No mas! -MC
With that being said, write your app in whatever you want using ESL and connect to the socket to originate calls and listen for events.

I am looking to build an "application" with FS where it will frequently check a database and then make an outbound call when a record with certain conditions is found in the DB. It needs to determine if the call was then answered by a machine/vm, busy, or answered by a
person,
play a message and get a response back to be recorded in the db. It may find many calls that need to be made at the same time. It will be running on a PRI.
I am confused as to what approach to use to accomplish this.
Lua Script, Perl Script, Javascript, Phython, PHP, Ruby....etc. Liverpie, ESL....etc. Or a totally different approach.
I realize that there is not only one "correct" way to build this, but I am looking for advise from those who have done this type of thing before. I value the opinion of those who have gone down this road
and
would be willing to share their thoughts on a recommended path to
take
to accomplish this.
Thanks
