Your loops looks fine - you need to separate out the processID from the time; there's a couple different ways to do it. the easiest is with 'cut'.

Code:

proc=`echo $i | cut -f2 -d" "`
kill -9 $proc

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

IFS='[ :<tab>]'

while read a b pid; do
   [[ $a$b -gt 30 ]] && kill $pid
done < bbb

Yes, if you explained a bit more clearly where you are having problems.
