how to tell which process call sendmail
So, some idiot is using a cgi or php or something to send mail out of his website that he shouldn't be sending. With a bunch of sites on the server, can't tell who. System accounting can tell me that sendmail was executed 32,976 times, but is there a way to tell what process /file name called it each time? Since it's always called by the www user that doesn't help -- I need to distinguish between legit processes that call 5 or 10 in a day and the idiot who calls the other 31,000 times. Thanks!

top display weirdness
When I run top, the summary and memory lines at the top of the display are updating in the next line down, overwriting that line. The process #'s are showing up in the state line, state #'s in the memory line, memory #'s in the swap list. I saw a post recently about something similar caused by compiling with different userland and core versions or something: this is a straight 5.3 install from the CD set. Only disk 1 was needed. This is also the 3rd install from this same disk and the other 2 system do not exhibit the incorrect behavior. 1 of the other 2 system has the same MB, drives, etc. Ideas appreciated.

Something new! Rebuilt everything I could think of and no joy. The genesis of this thing is a php "page" that is executed out of cron as a command. It worked great until mysql 5.5 installed. I've been testing from the command line. Then had a brainstorm, and ran the php "page" from the address line of a browser instead of the command line and it works. Should of thought of that test before. So why is it OK thru a browser but not as a command? That leads me to believe it's not mysql_connect's problem at all but the php cli isn't working properly.

coldfusion alternative
OK so a good customer of long standing wants a coldfusion website. Some "developer", the husband of one of his staff (so that makes him a trusted advisor, right?), has convinced him "it's the only way to do it". My position is maybe that's the only way -he- can do it but there's a whole wide world of alternatives out there. Looking at it, he wants to collect some data on an input form, then hash it over a couple of ways and present the results. Pretty graphics maybe as well. Looks to me like Perl... don't even need a real database, heck DB_File would work just fine for this. OK with me... ...but what's the argument to present other than "you don't need coldfusion"? I'd even put CF on the system and be done with it if there was a FreeBSD version (anyone have any luck with that?). Tracked down BlueDragon but that's apparently Win only as well. Ammunition wanted.
