Several applications exist that take advantage of the Event Socket system. The most commonly used application is the fs_cli. We will also go over a demo PHP and Perl script to get you familiar with utilizing the event system.

FreeSWITCH Console application

Most people do not realize it, but if they have used the FreeSWITCH Console application (fs_cli), then they have already used the FreeSWITCH event socket subsystem. fs_cli is a C application that connects to the FreeSWITCH event socket provided by mod_event_socket, as previously discussed.

The FreePBX v3 project introduced a class that allows for connecting to the FreeSWITCH event socket...
