What script is running by Perl?
Dear fellow unixoids!

I need a little help (just a link would be fine) how can I investigate what specific perl script is eating 100% of cpu of my ubuntu server:
Code:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND                                                                                                                                           
17970 root      25   0 20280  15m  764 R  100  2.9   3875:06 perl

26263 www-data  15   0 36040  11m 3656 S    0  2.2   0:00.01 apache2

Couldn't find an answer on Google...
Thanks!

Try
Code:
ps -fp 17970

( this assumes that your 'perl' process that hogs the CPU is 17970 as given in your example). You should then find out the guilty script.
