Hello,

I have a perl script running on my machine and I would like to know where it is located.
When I run a top command, I get this:

4288 www-data 15 0 73012 16m 1908 S 2.0 1.7 21:19.89 perl

But I can't find out what it is. Does anyone know a command to display
its root.

Thank you in advance.

GreG

Hi,

the perl interpreter is usually found in /usr/bin, so /usr/bin/perl is the full path

however, I see that it’s running under the identity of www-data, which suggests a cgi script

display
 ps aux | grep www-data 
maybe we'll get more details

Hello,

a which perl only gives me:

which perl
/usr/bin/perl

It does not provide the location of the launched Perl scripts.
