[OpenSIPS-Users] [NEW] OpenSIPS script locks

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Brett,

no, there is no timeout for the lock. so, if you are not careful in 
releasing the lock, you are a dead man with a dead opensips :).

We plan to add some mechanism to check and cleanup locks after the route 
is ended, but this requires some extra work in the core part (some 
callbacks to give access to executing any kind of route).

Regards,
