Ncat: Permission denied.

[artesah]

Hello!
In alertscripts directory, I created a script that should send data to a socket.

 
 #!/bin/bash  ip="$1" subj="$2" message="$3" to_send="{"subj": "${subj}", "message": "${message}"}"  /usr/bin/echo ${to_send} |/usr/bin/ncat ${ip} 3434

But i get an error Ncat: Permission denied.




How to fix this problem?
Thanks!

I had this same issue recently. Turned out SELinux was enabled. You can temporarily disable by running: setenforce 0

To fully disable SELinux, edit the /etc/selinux/config file and set the SELINUX=disabled, then reboot the server
