torch not working

[marsalans]

this is my code and its not working.

    $API->write('/tool/torch',false);
    //$API->write("=interface=vlan3212");
    $API->write("=interface=".$rb_interface);
    $API->write("=src-address=".$rb_ip);
    $ARRAY= $API->read(false);
    print_r($ARRAY);

output:

Connection attempt #1 to 10.0.1.1:5891... <<< [6] /login <<< [13] =name=username_api<<< [26] =password=password_api >>> [5/5] bytes read. >>> [5, 1]!done Connected... <<< [11] /tool/torch <<< [19] =interface=vlan3212 <<< [25] =src-address=10.31.126.21 >>> [5/5] bytes read. >>> [5, 40]!trap >>> [31/31] bytes read. >>> [31, 8]=message=no such command prefix >>> [5/5] bytes read. >>> [5, 1]!done Array ( [0] => !trap [1] => =message=no such command prefix [2] => !done ) Disconnected...

$API->write("=interface=".$rb_interface); should be $API->write("=interface=".$rb_interface, false);

I also tries that, but it keeps the page loading.

        $API->write('/tool/torch');
        $API->write("=interface=NOC-40G",false);
        $ARRAY= $API->read(false);
        print_r($ARRAY);

1. This should be

        $API->write('/tool/torch', false);
        $API->write("=interface=NOC-40G");

Are you sure you understand the second parameter?

2. Torch is constantly running command, it produces infinite output. If you need to stop at some point - add duration parameter, like

        $API->write('/tool/torch', false);
        $API->write("=interface=NOC-40G", false);
        $API->write("=duration=1s");

i also tried to add duration parameter and interchanging false between these two statements they return command does not exist Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>
