Re: [cobalt-developers] parseReport.pl

[Matt Doherty<mdoherty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Perl scrips in web sites,
I had the same problem ONCE! .. ONCE! (Johnny Dangerously)
I currently support many web sites and do not know which one the .pl script 
came from.
I telneted into the cobalt and typed "updatedb" command. (just to make sure 
that the cobalt is up to spec for the next command. 
next I typed "locate perlscript.pl"
once I found it. I did my favorite command. "mv /path/to/perl/script.pl  . " 
(I moved it out of its location to mine where my pwd is.)
and waited for someone to call me on this.. It was a quick find for the person 
who put it there and for me to explain to him what its doing to the server.. they 
modified it and things are well now..heehee Maybe this will help you
