[Freeswitch-users] Run a LUA script when voicemail received

I got it working. Ignore the rest of this message unless you want to know
how I solved it.
My problem was that I was using "reloadxml" after I added the "hook" line,
but after reading the mod_lua.cpp file, I found that while "reloadxml"
loaded the whole XML include tree into the Freeswitch config structure, The
mod_lua code used that config structure only on startup. The solution was
to shut down freeswitch. (And thanks to the new  systemd on Debian 8, it
started back up by itself.)

--------

It didn't work.I tried putting this line in autoload_configs/lua.conf.xml:

    <hook event="CUSTOM" subclass="vm::maintenance"
script="voicemail-event.lua"/>

I then created a "voicemail-event.lua" file with the following:
action = event:getHeader("VM-Action")
freeswitch.consoleLog("info", "VM Action: " .. action)

However, the log file has nothing about this script:

The deliver_vm() function in
src/mod/applications/mod_voicemail/mod_voicemail.c sends the event before
the MWI update. It also sends the event at other times, including after
voicemail authentication, but I don't see that it the log either.

Investigating a little further, in src/mod/languages/mod_lua/mod_lua.cpp,
there is a function that seems to process the autoload_configs/lua.conf.xml
file. It has a loop that appears to process the "hook" elements that
includes this line:

                        switch_log_printf(SWITCH_CHANNEL_LOG,
SWITCH_LOG_INFO, "hook params: '%s' | '%s' | '%s'\n", event, subclass,
script);
