pause: %v

Error message

pause: %v

What it means

The 'lures pause <id> <duration>' command failed while parsing the lure ID with strconv.Atoi, or while fetching the lure with GetLure; the underlying error is wrapped as 'pause: %v'. Wrapper error — root cause is either a non-numeric ID or an ID that does not match any existing lure.

Solutions

1. Check the inner error: if it is an Atoi failure, supply a numeric lure ID.
2. Run 'lures' to list valid lure IDs and pick an existing one.
3. Confirm the duration argument (e.g. 10m, 1h30m) is passed as the next argument.
