I'm not at all familiar with NTP, so I'm not sure what the difference between these two tools is, or why one wouldn't work :)
Does anyone else know?

For simplicity of minimum changes to the script, I made the following change: // START SETTINGS /// $ntpq = "ntpq"; $ntpdc = "ntpq"; // END SETTINGS /// End result is this: You can see where I made the change to the script yesterday afternoon. The related version of ntpd is: ntpd - NTP daemon program - Ver. 4.2.8p4 I don’t know if you want to push this out as a change overall, but wanted to make you aware of this so that it’s documented somewhere at least.
