After installing the latest version of nexus, currently 3.6.0, I'm able to start it by using the manual command

/opt/nexus/bin/nexus start

but when trying to start as a service (per directions https://help.sonatype.com/display/NXRM3/Installation#Installation-RunningtheService), I get the following:

UPDATE: I discovered that disabling selinx, i.e. setenforce 0 allows for managing the service, but I don't want to do this as a long term solution.

here are a few lines from /var/log/audit/audit.log

Any chance someone can help from here?
