Notification command, send string to serial port

[gust102]

We have a device, who can be triggered via serial communication, to call or send text message in GSM mobile network.
To trigger this, I just send string 'ALARM$' to serial port:

Code: Select all

/bin/echo 'ALARM$' > /dev/ttyS1

If I do this from the Linux promt (logged in as user nagios), it works fine.

But, if I add this as a notification commad, the notification triggers, but nothing happens.

Does anyone know what could be the problem here?
