to do it in the background it needs to run in a different thread. Sometime with bgapi executing the command to do the upload passing the right params should work.

I'm writing some IVR in Lua and trying to execute some code while the main program continues execution.

I've tried

... -- aws is AWS Command Line Interface io.popen("aws s3 cp " .. s3_src .. " ".. s3_dst) os.execute("aws s3 cp " .. s3_src .. " ".. s3_dst) ... -- program execution continues

Even tried passing it off to a shell script(`s3_upload`)

os.execute("s3_upload " .. s3_src .." " .. s3_dst) io.popen("s3_upload " .. s3_src .. " ".. s3_dst)

I've tried

session:execute("bgsystem","s3_upload " .. s3_src .. " ".. s3_dst )

If i use the Lua Interactive shell to run these commands independently, it works.

would appreciate any assistance.
