Hello, I have recently encountered a problem while working on something for my web development class.
We had to make a web page that would allow the user to send emails. We are using CGI scripts in perl in order to handle the HTML forms and send the email.
However, while I was playing around, I accidentally put the command to send the email inside an infinite loop. Now, I am infinitely receiving emails from myself. My class works off of an Apache server running UNIX. I found the ID for the process running the CGI script, but I do not have permissions to kill it.
It has been running for an hour now and still not terminated. I have actually deleted the .cgi file I was using from the server, but it continues to run. Can anyone help me?
