connection refused

[Claudio-dur]

Hi!

I am running a pipeline in nextflow and a weird error starts to appear:

Command error:
WARNING: Could not lookup the current user's information: user: lookup userid xxxxx: connection refused
FATAL: Couldn't determine user account information: user: lookup userid xxxxx: connection refused

The pipeline runs smoothly until a point where this error above appears. If I resume the task, the simulations move forward and the same error appears in a later point. If I resume again, the process continues as expected and the error appears again in a later point and so on...

Any idea what could this be? I'm running the pipeline in a tmux environment. So far the error appears when using the tool bowtie2samtools. If it goes further in the pipeline, it might appear for instrain as well.

Thank you for the support!
Cheers,
Claudio
