Issue:

When running client commands as a non-root user, I see:

ERROR: cannot establish connection - Operation now in progress (hostname:port=:42559)

Symptom:

You will see the keywords "Operation now in progress" when running commands.

ERROR: cannot establish connection - Operation now in progress (hostname:port=:42559)

Solution:

In most cases, the environment needs to know where the $MOABHOMEDIR is, and the Moab binaries must be in the environment path.

Example suggestions:

export MOABHOMEDIR=/opt/moab/

PATH=/var/opt/moab/bin:$PATH

Additionally, you will want to make sure the user can read the moab.cfg file found under $MOABHOMEDIR or $MOABHOMEDIR/etc/.
