Server Crash/Memory Usage

Shortly after installed hq-agent I had a server go belly up on me and someone rebooted it before I could take a look at it.

It happened again, thankfully. And at first glance it seemed like the jvm was the problem, using over 1G of memory.

Then I realized there were many many many instances of ntpd running.

Then I realized why....

/usr/sbin/ntpd -c 'timeout 1000' -c sysinfo -c sysstats -c peers

is not the same as

/usr/sbin/ntpdc -c 'timeout 1000' -c sysinfo -c sysstats -c peers

So, if you make the same mistake I did, I hope you find this post and are able to fix yours quickly too. And if you just are not seeing it, the "c" for the monitor app for ntpd is very very important and I have no idea why I changed it, but I broke it and I hope you do not.
