We are running icinga2 version v2.3.8
and we have some scripts that use livestatus however
we get the error Cannot write to TCP socket when using unixcat

example:
echo 'GET hosts' | unixcat /var/run/icinga2/cmd/livestatus

in icinga2 log :
[2015-09-02 15:49:33 +0200] critical/LivestatusQuery: Cannot write to TCP socket.

Your echo call misses at least a line ending terminator. Please verify that your command looks the same as described in the documentation:

Initially I had the same problem, but after dnsmichi's suggestion I found out that this works:

echo -en 'GET hosts\n\n' | nc -U /var/run/icinga2/cmd/livestatus
