large httpd cpu cause php script

Have you checked your access_log? That would most likely be the easiest way to figure out what's going on.

well the thing is, i have quite a few servers with lots of different websites on. i could go trawling through all the access logs for each site but it would be a major time saver if i could simply see which script was tied to the process.

Is there anything i cna do with the process id, or in the proc directories?

I'm not sure you can see this information in process listings. However, if you turn on apache mod_status, you should be able to see, in real-time, what requests your server is working on.

Thanx, i'll give that a go.

I dont know if this is real but here:

At the bottom i see that someone might have what i am looking for:

They have a top or some sort of process list then they have the site and script used. Is this real?

Thanx for your help, that mod_status is just what i need.
