Hello,

I'm trying to do a sleep in the request route but seems it's not working

    if (src_ip == $sel(cfg_get.kamalio2.gw) ){
            xlog("L_NOTICE","Sleep 5 seconds");
            usleep("5000");
            }

    xlog("L_NOTICE","End of sleeping");

Result :

Jul 21 11:38:02 proxy2 /usr/sbin/kamailio[31442]: NOTICE: <script>: Sleep 5 seconds Jul 21 11:38:02 proxy2 /usr/sbin/kamailio[31442]: NOTICE: <script>: End of sleeping

usleep() takes an argument in microseconds (millionths of a second), so you should try a value of 5000000.

But aside from that, embedding sleep commands in request routes is a very bad idea, since it ties up that worker thread during the time it sleeps and prevents it from processing other SIP messages. :-)
