How to log start/stop time of ALL processes

Hi all,

I joined this forum today and this is my first question. I thank you all for viewing it. I will try to be brief.

The OS: HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800

There are lot of cron scheduled perl scripts running on this server, which do different things at different time. Some of them process incoming csv files (from some server), some scripts upload that data to a oracle DB, some anther scripts process that data and populate some other table and so on. I am sorry if this is confusing, but there are more than 300 scripts running (at different time per day). They can run for 10 seconds or 3 days.

Now my problem:

My boss wants to monitor all scripts' start-stop time in real time. Something like this

Script name----Start date---Start time---Stop date---Stop Time
Script1 mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
....

(I need to do this for 3 different logins, which have different perl scripts scheduled).

Is there any way (without manually running PS command for each script) so that the start and stop time of all these scripts will be logged automatically?

I am sorry if I have broken any rule of this forum by putting this in wrong thread. I appreciate any input from all of you Unix Gurus.

service

service(8)						      System Manager's Manual							service(8)

NAME

       service - run a System V init script

SYNOPSIS

       service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]

       service --status-all

       service --help | -h | --version

DESCRIPTION

       service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working
       directory set to /.

       The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT.  The  supported  values  of  COMMAND  depend  on  the
       invoked	script,  service  passes  COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified.  All scripts should support at least the start and
       stop commands.  As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the  start
       command.

       service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.

       If the init script file does not exist, the script tries to use legacy actions.	If there is no suitable legacy action found and COMMAND is
       one of actions specified in LSB Core Specification, input is redirected to the systemctl.  Otherwise the command fails with return code 2.

FILES

       /etc/init.d
	      The directory containing System V init scripts.

ENVIRONMENT

       LANG, TERM
	      The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.

SEE ALSO
