When cromshell server is busy, sometimes the workflow takes a while to be registered. cromshell wait will fail 2/3 times. Instead, it should wait even when the jobid is not found till the job actually started running.

louisb: "I believe it the thought behind -w was that when you're developing wdls and launching them manually there's a very high chance of a fast error because of wdl validation failure or bad input arguments. You want to find out if that happened before you continue on with your work."

Yeah - I've seen this happen as well.

I'll take a look at some point in the near future.
