Hi,
we have written some logic for a project in lua. There is a small
function that gets called from Kamailio, but the main logic is done in
a self-written module. That module does initialize some values from
database on the first request that comes in.
Now when reloading app_lua from kamcmd or via jsonrpc, I don't see the
log output generated when initializing.
In the debug log, I can see that the reload is taking place, but the
variables and state seem to not get reset.
What does the reload command actually reload?
Best Regards,
Sebastian

the reload command marks the scripts specified by 'load' parameter to be
reloaded next time they are going to be used.

That's what I saw in the debug logs. But what does that exactly mean?
I thought the script would get reinitialized and starts with a fresh
state. As if I would restart Kamailio only without all the Kamailio
initialization. But that seems not to be true. My "initialize" method
is not called, because the global object variable is already set
(which isn't when the script is executed after Kamailio was started).
Is there any way to "reset" the script except restarting Kamailio?

it sounds like you want to re-initialize the Lua interpreter, not to

at this moment you have to restart kamailio.

Does the script get some kind of notification that a reload took place?
Is there any variable or something that I can use inside the script to
check whether it was just reloaded? It's really just an
initialisation. My script has to fetch some database entries once to
work. So if I could react on a signal or other kind of notification,
this could help, too.

Having an indication on script reload inside the script itself could be
useful, but requires some c coding at this moment, not being implemented.

I've implemented it as suggested, and it works as expected.
Thanks as always for the valuable input.

ok, great!
Maybe someone is going to implement the interpreter reset feature, could
be useful as well, although so far I didn't need it at all.
