Debien 9. Pulse Secure CLI. Error: Status is not available. Please check if pulse client is running.

[fmserrano]

We are using CLI in Debian9. When we start CLI, no error display:

# /usr/local/pulse/PulseClient_x86_64.sh -h www.xxxx.xxxx.net -u USER -p PASS -r ME
Checking for missing dependency packages for command line client ...
executing command : /usr/local/pulse/pulsesvc -h www.xxxx.xxxx.net -u USER -p PASS -r ME

But when I'm going to check connection:

# /usr/local/pulse/PulseClient_x86_64.sh -S

Checking for missing dependency packages for command line client ...

Status is not available. Please check if pulse client is running.

 I just check https://kb.pulsesecure.net/articles/Pulse_Secure_Article/KB40110  but I'm using root user and $HOME is /root  (root has permissions to write there). 

How can I solve it?

Many thanks!!
