function_call: service_control_stop($name, $extras) not working

[e2m32]

Love this api. Thank you for your work. Been using it with HomeAssistant for a while and have a new use case I'd like to implement.

I am attempting to stop a vpn client. I have enabled function_call for my user and have uncommented the service_control_stop in the "pfsense_function_calls.txt" file on my pfsense box. When I execute the following python code I get a success response, but the client is still running:

stop_openvpn = json.dumps(
            FauxapiLib.function_call({
            'function': 'service_control_stop',
            'args': ['openvpn', 'array(vpnmode => client, id => 3)']
            }
           ))
print(stop_openvpn)

print statement:

{"callid": "63b6541d8ee0a", "action": "function_call", "message": "ok", "data": {"return": "openvpn has been stopped."}}

I tried this call from the pfsense UI for executing php and the client service is properly stopped:

include('service-utils.inc');service_control_stop(openvpn, array(vpnmode => client, id => 3));

Is there something else I need to do to make this work?

I tried adding "service-utils.inc" to the "pfsense_function_calls.txt" file, but that made no difference:

#
# Entries in this file without any function definition are available to be 
# included but none of the functions within them are available to be accessed 
# via FauxAPI function_call()
# 
globals.inc
util.inc
xmlparse.inc
notices.inc
config.lib.inc
system.inc
service-utils.inc

I am running version 1.4.
