[Matt2001]

my server has a runaway perl script running on it. TOP says that user 'nobody' is using 98% cpu power running perl. My question is, how do i locate WHICH perl script is causing this if it is user nobody?

Login to ssh and run the top command then shift m to see what is using your resources. Im sure you can kill the pid until you get it resolved.
