Maybe alternatively you can call http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_commands#sched_api just before put someone on the conference.

If you look at my original post you’ll see I tried to do that with the same results:

session:execute("conference", argv[1] .. "@default")

api = freeswitch.API()

confplay = api:execute("conference", argv[1] .. " play /usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/tones/norstar.wav ")

What is happening in Lua is because it’s not a threadable language you can’t do an “execute and forget” on a particular command. So when the conference is run Lua will stop executing at that point.

It seems the way this could be accomplished is to allow asynchronous execution capabilities in lua. However I don't think this exists.

Is there a better way to "execute and forget" the conference app so the script can move on to the next bit of code?

Try using an API instead of messing with session:xxx and all that stuff:

api = freeswitch.API();

res = api:execute("conference",conf_name .. " play /path/to/file.wav";

conf_name is the name of the conference you are using. If you're not sure what name you have then just start up a conference and then type "conference list" at fs_cli and you'll see the name. You can use channel variables, etc. if the name changes depending on the destination number.
