Know the origin of an order

GreG -  
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.

    the command is 'perl'
    just a simple 
    which perl
    is enough ;)

      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.

          Hello,

          what does a 
          ps -ef | grep www-data
          return you?
