Date and Time of Process

jorge.ferreira · #1 (**permalink**) 11-18-2003

Hello experts,

I would like to know if there's a way to know the date and time of a process.

This is the cenarium:

I've got a script (not made by me) that gives me the processes working and the possibility to kill witch one i want.
Sometimes when the clients are working, their licences crash (in windows) what makes the UNIX licences to be hunged and then the only thing to do is to kill them. The problem is to kill the right licence. So if i had the Date and Time of the process i'd know witch one.

Please help me,

ps can display the start time of a process. Do a "man ps".

Some versions of unix have a better way, but this varies from one version to another.

Some unix(s) have BSD and SysV variants of ps. Solaris for example has both /usr/bin/ps and /usr/ucb/ps.

It sounds like you have a larger issue and there may be a better way to address it. Are the client connections traversing unique sockets (ie IP/port pairs)?

Cheers,

Keith
