I'm not sure what you mean by "How can I make it".. but you need to determine why tehse two perl sessions are taking up over 90% of your CPU.

Perl shouldn't be running that heavy.. and it's running by user "nobody" which makes me think it's a CGI Script.. course I could be wrong..

ok, how do i that

well first.. try to determine how long they have been running.

You can do this and see what exactly they are running, if you type: ps -ef | grep perl

(make sure your screen is kinda wide to get the whole line)

You should be able to see what's running there.. here's the output on mine (these are normal btw)

dave@master [~]# ps -ef  |grep perl
mailnull  1604     1  0 Sep25 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/cpanel/bin/eximstats
root     10939  8410  0 10:28 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/cpanel/bin/leechprotect

As you can see, perl is runing leechprotect and eximstats

You should be able to determine what's running by doing that.. if it's a user doing it.. contact them and tell 'em to knock it off.. if it's a system process.. determining why it's doing that is the next step.
