I wouldn't know if it tries to run, it just sits there for a while until the channel is hung with a timeout I assume then the script continues..

Like I can do 

freeswitch.consoleLog("info", "Hello World 1! " .. "\n")
   session:execute("txfax", "/rxfax.tiff")
   freeswitch.consoleLog("info", "Hello World 2! " .. "\n")

and see Hello World 1 and Hello World 2

then hangs up.

Michael, when you say transfer to ext that does the bridge you mean something like:

extension name="test_txfax_stream">
     <condition field="destination_number" expression="^\*90012$">
       <action application="txfax" data="txfax.tiff"/>
       ...
     </condition>
   </extension>

What exactly do I need to bridge to?

What happens when you call the txfax app from Lua? Does it even attempt to run? Just curious. In any case, I think you can do a combo of dp and Lua by transferring the call to an extension that does the bridge and if it fails you can check the failure cause in a Lua script and try again. You'll just need a chan var for the number of attempts.

Hi all,

I noticed that I am not able to use TXFAX from a LUA script as follows:

obSession = freeswitch.Session("freetdm/1/1/9999")

if obSession:ready() then
    session:execute("txfax", "/rxfax.tiff")
else

My objective was to send a fax to a fax machine connected to an FXS.

I does work when I use:

originate freetdm/1/1/9999 &txfax(/rxfax.tiff)

But I wanted to be able to retry based on DISCONNECT CAUSES and the like.


Just for peace of mind I wanted to get some input from you on the causes of this "limitation", and maybe get some suggestions as to any other options?


TIA
