Description

I get exec plugin error as below :

`E! exec command failed: Output: : fork/exec /usr/local/bin: permission denied`

when i try to run a shell script from Tick script.

Please find the alert node as below :

```
alert
.log('/tmp/disk_alert_log.txt')
.slack()
.channel('#devops')
.exec('/usr/local/bin','recoverDisk')
```

Thanks,
Sunil

Research direction

The report points to Kapacitor’s exec plugin and the alert node’s .exec('/usr/local/bin','recoverDisk') call; start by tracing that command-execution entry point and reproducing the permission-denied error with the shown Tick script. Confirm the expected executable and path behavior, then verify that the alert can run the shell script without the reported error.
