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.

FYI, I added this information to the wiki page for freeswitch.EventConsumer.
