[Freeswitch-users] lua script

The freeswitch variable is provided as a global variable in the script environment only when the script is executed from within FreeSWITCH.

For example, from the dialplan:
  <action application="lua" data="foo.lua"/>

Or from the FreeSWITCH command line:
  luarun foo.lua
(see http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_lua#at_the_CLI_:_lua_and_luarun)

Or as a a background script kicked off in lua.conf.xml:
  <param name="startup-script" value="foo.lua"/>

I would highly recommend reading this entire wiki page: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_lua -- that will save everyone time. ;)
