The script is talking to 94.102.51.57 on port 7000.

Other useful things:

ps ajxwwww
will tell you the parent process of the script:  this looks like
it may be a (fast?)CGI script; if so then the parent would be the
web server.

It may also show the name of the script (but beware:  the script
can change that) which would be usefull to know.

Is it the same instance of the script, or a new copy each time?
That is, does the PID change?  If so, that points to a CGI; if not it
points to a fastCGI - or something else.
