Well, all the agent script does is run
`which nc` localhost 7634
If that's enough to crash your server, I suggest you get better servers.

Well, I can't seem to recreate the problem outside of the unix-agent. I need to investigate some more time into the root cause. On Jun 17, 2013 12:01 PM, "Adam Armstrong" adama@memetic.org wrote:

Funny you mention this. Just the other day the hddtemp script brought down one of my Debian machines. Observium's hddtemp script expects nc==nc.traditional which in my case nc==openbsd. nc.openbsd hung at 100% CPU load until the machine self destructed. Good thing we had a backup.
