I have worked on making a set of scripts and dialplans for a traditional queue, which rings the agents. I have published suggestions and ideas on the WIKI, but I’m still not satisfied with the solution. One of the challenges has been to emulate a sleep command as known in php and many other languages. I have solved it by creating a session for the sake of this, and run session.execute(“sleep”, 5000), but this solution pivots on the creation of the session, and it not very clean in my opinion. So my question is: are there any elegant ways of putting javascript to sleep in FS? /Jon

I believe this is a limitation in JavaScript. There is no "sleep" command or function, just some setTimeout kind of thing where you launch a function after a predetermined interval. I think with js you're stuck with an inelegant solution...

we added our own msleep function to js

msleep(<milliseconds>);

Thanks Anthony, the msleep function is really nice, but I have some problems getting it to work. Somehow it fucks up the system, which becomes unresponsive after I have run it in a javascript. Should I just wait for the next release, or do you want a more detailed error report through the appropriate channels? /Jon

i don't know what you are talking about exactly

i made this script test.js

for(x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
msleep(1000);
consoleLog("info", "ITERATION " + (x + 1) + "\n");
}

consoleLog("info", "DONE");


and did
jsrun /path/to/test.js

and it seems to work fine.

Hi all,

I noticed before that in order to sleep for 6 seconds I have to call
msleep(600);
and NOT
msleep(6000);


So I created the script
/usr/local/freeswitch/scripts/sleep6.js:
consoleLog("info", "sleep");
msleep(600);
consoleLog("info", "after 600");
msleep(6000);
consoleLog("info", "after 6000");

and when I run it
jsrun sleep6.js

I get the following output:

2008-11-17 14:25:08 [INFO] sleep6.js:1 console_log() sleep
2008-11-17 14:25:13 [INFO] sleep6.js:1 console_log() after 600
2008-11-17 14:26:01 [INFO] sleep6.js:1 console_log() after 6000

(I removed the prompt from the output for easy reading)

Cheers, Birgit
