I hope you meant to say it DOES work from the commandline, else why
would you expect it to work in a script, unless I misunderstand you. 
But doing a 'netstat -an' and grepping for 898 could be matching other
places, that's why I used '-ln' in my suggestion, which, on linux
anyway, only shows 'LISTEN'ing ports, not every connection and open
socket under the sun.  Also, I would try it without the qualifying
"any::". 

Try without the '-q' if you want to actually see what's being matched.
