as replied earlier, if your doing nothing but consuming events, you can just block instead of sleep: con:pop(1) there is also a msleep function that you can call the same way you do console_log, it takes milli seconds as its arg. Note this should NOT be used when you have a script running as a session, only when you are running an api script. Mike On Mar 31, 2009, at 11:15 AM, Matthew Fong wrote:
Got a few more questions about running LUA scripts, please forgive me, I'm an absolute newbie with LUA.
If I want to subscribe to a custom event, and I use
con = freeswitch.EventConsumer("CUSTOM my::event");
I get an error. Is this because I must subscribe to the CUSTOM (only) event, and then filter out the events using the Event- Subclass myself? Or am I missing something in the syntax of the subscribe?
Also, if I do not have a freeswitch.Session, what is the best way to have my LUA script sleep? I want a functionality, where a statement inside my LUA script gets iterated every 30 seconds. My program does not use a session, so I cannot use session:execute("sleep","1000"), as suggested in the wiki. I tried api::sleep(30000) and a few other combinations with execute but no luck :(.
Thanks. --matt

now you have a consumer obj
every time you call con:pop() with no arg you will either get an event or nil when there are no events to consume. every time you call con:pop(1) the consumer object will block until there is an event.
So you use the first way in conjunction with some other lock to do async or the 2nd way you do a dedicated blocking loop.
FYI, I added this information to the wiki page for freeswitch.EventConsumer. -MC
