Here is the idea to kill last days process.

Get the last day . Then grep the process xxx and last day . You will get the PID's . Then in a for loop kill all the PID's. I have posted the code to get the last day and get the pid's.

Code:
YEST=`TZ="GMT+24" date | awk ' { print $2 , $3 } '`


ps -aef | grep "xxx" | grep "$YEST" | grep -v grep | awk ' { print $2 } '

Ohh I got it wrong

Any way you can use etime to get the process run for more than 1 day

Code:
amit@alu /export/home/amit $ ps -aef -o user,pid,etime,args | grep oracle
  oracle   637 64-01:26:08 /oracle/product/102/db/bin/tnslsnr LISTENER -inherit

Here the etime gives you the days-hh:min:sec the procees is running.
So validating this value you can kill the process in a loop .

The process started within 24 hours will have only hh:mm:ss in etime where as for procs running more than 24 hr dd-hh:mm:ss will be there.
