You're probably right; hadn't thought of that.  I don't get to have
any fun.  :P  :)

What evidence?

This script was installed on a completely different machine, at a
different hosting company; I copied it across myself.  The system it
was installed on originally no longer exists at all; it has been
totally destroyed some months ago.

You seem te be dramatically over-estimating how much I care about
this particular server's health.  :D

You are right about the jumping-off point, but I'm keeping an eye
on it; I'm not terribly worried.  The pattern of recent use of the
script matches a simple botnet running through the various options.
