listing processes older than n days
Hello; trying to find processes older than n days, mostly user shells Tried the following code on 11.31 box: in this case older than 5 days

Code:
UNIX95= ps -ef -o user,pid,ppid,cpu,etime,stime | grep "-" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs ps -ef|grep -v '?' |\
awk '$5 !~ "[0-9][0-9]"' | awk '($5 ~ "$(date "+%b")") && ($6 <= "$(echo $(date "+%e") - 5 | bc)")'

but is erroring out with:

Code:
 syntax error The source line is 1.
 The error context is
                ($5 ~ "$(date >>>  "+% <<< b")") && ($6 <= "$(echo $(date "+%e") - 5 | bc)")
        awk: There is an extra ) character.
 awk: Quitting
 The source line is 1.

Anyone has other/better ideas ??

Thank you

faxcron

FAXCRON(8C)															       FAXCRON(8C)

NAME

       faxcron - HylaFAX routine maintenance script

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxcron [ -n ] [ -l lastrun ]

DESCRIPTION

       faxcron	is  a  command	script	that  does  routine upkeep tasks in a HylaFAX spooling directory hierarchy.  This script is intended to be
       invoked from cron(8C) on behalf of the fax user (often the ``fax'' user is uucp) once a day, with the standard output sent by mail  to  the
       HylaFAX administrator.  For example, the following crontab might be set up for the fax user:
	 25   23    *	 *    *   sh /usr/sbin/faxcron | mail FaxMaster

       The faxcron script does the following work:

       o  report statistics for facsimile transmitted since the last time faxcron was run.

       o  report statistics for facsimile transmitted in the past week.

       o  report statistics for facsimile received since the last time faxcron was run.

       o  report statistics for facsimile received in the past week.

       o  report any recent calls that failed suspiciously and return the associated trace log;

       o  purge data that is 30 days or older from the remote machine information directory;

       o  delete information that is 30 days or older from session trace log files;

       o  remove files from the tmp directory that are older than 1 day;

       o  remove files in the received facsimile queue that are 7 days or older;

       o  report sites that are currently having jobs rejected; and

       o  force all session log files to be owned by the fax user and kept with protection mode 644.

OPTIONS

       -n	 Forces faxcron to run without updating any files.

       -l lastrun
		 Forces  the  notion  of  the last time that faxcron was run to be lastrun.  The value of lastrun is a date and time string of the
		 form ``MM/DD/YY HH:MM'' (the date(1) format string ``%D %H:%M'').

       -info n	 Set the expiration time for data in the info database to be n days.

       -log n	 Set the expiration time for session log data to be n days.

       -rcv n	 Set the expiration time for files in the received facsimile queue to be n days.

       -tmp n	 Set the expiration time for files in the tmp directory to be n days.

       -mode m	 Set the file protection mode for session logs to m (a command line argument to chmod(1)).

NOTES

       This script requires nawk(1) or gawk(1) and a date(1) program that supports the ``+format'' option.

       If session logs are to be kept private this script must be modified to filter out sensitive information such as calling card numbers.   (It
       should also be run with ``-mode 0600'' so that session log files are not publicly readable.)

FILES

       /var/spool/fax			  spooling area
       /var/spool/fax/etc/lastrun	  timestamp of last run
       /usr/sbin/xferfaxstats		  for generating transmit statistics
       /usr/sbin/recvstats		  for generating receive statistics
       /var/spool/fax/tmp/faxcronXXXX	  temporary file for truncating session logs
       /var/spool/fax/tmp/faxlogXXXX	  temporary file for logs of failed calls
