Frineds I need assistance in writing a script . Newbie to scripting.
How to find list of processes that are running more than an hour . Below i used the step to get the etime and stime . Now by getting the result i need to display longer time process with full listing.
ps -aef -o user,pid,etime,stime,args |grep <process name> | awk '{print $3}'
which gives the below result
42:03
3-06:21:33
01:08:05
18:23
00:00
01:07:55
59:06
58:13
Thank you in advance
Why not do print $2,3 to get both fields?
I did that but my result should show only the PID's which are taking longer time.
And you need the PID too, not just the time...
awk '{ split($3,A,":"); T=(A[1]*60)+A[2]; $0=$2" "$3 } T>60'
Note that using -f and -o together is not portable. On many systems that will give you a full listing with the additional fields specified by -o appended to the end the line of normal -f output. If you just want the fields you specified listed for any process that has been running for an hour or more, try:
ps -ae -o user,pid,etime,stime,args | awk 'split($3,f,/[-:]/)>2'
Or use:
ps -eo user,pid,etime,stime,args | awk '{n=split($3,A,":");$0=$2" "$3}n>=3'
Yoda Thank you for your reply but I get an error saying
bash-2.05$ ps -eo user,pid,etime,stime,args | awk '{ split($3,A,":"); T=(A[1]*60)+A[2]; $0=$2" "$3 } T>60'
awk: can't set $0
record number 1

Corona688 thank you for your response. I get an error below.

Please use nawk instead of awk if you are on SunOS or Solaris.
awk on SunOS or Solaris is broken.
Thank you Yoda It really helps... You are the best

It works but still it gives me the processes that runs lesser than one hour....I want to get only the process that runs more than an hour

Since you're running on a Solaris system, please try this again using /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk instead of awk .
Thanks Don . Your idea worked for me after using nawk.
