There are no on-the-fly commands to do this:

We can go with a logic as ... if a pid is older than 24 hrs, it will be displayed in Mon hr format..

eg: Jun 09

Try the below snippet to take only those pids which are older than 24 hrs. You can put in your logic on top of the snippet given below to look for pids older than "n" days

ps -ef| sed '/\([JFMAMSOND][aepuco][nbrylgptvc] [0-9][0-9]\)/!d' | awk '{ print $2" "$5":"$6; }'

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

NAME

       ipurge - delete mail from IMAP mailbox or partition based on age or size

SYNOPSIS

       ipurge [ -f ] [ -C config-file ] [ -x ] [ -X ] [ -i ] [ -s ] [ -o ]
	      [ -d days | -b bytes | -k Kbytes | -m Mbytes ]
	      [ mailbox-pattern...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Ipurge  deletes	messages from the mailbox(es) specified by mailbox-pattern that are older or larger than specified by the -d, -b, -k or -m
       options.  If no mailbox-pattern is given, ipurge works on all mailboxes.  If the -x option is given, the message age and  size  MUST  match
       exactly those specified by -d, -b, -k or -m.  The are no default values, and at least one of -d, -b, -k or -m MUST be specified.

       Ipurge  by  default  only deletes mail below shared folders, which means that mails in mailbox(es) below INBOX.* and user.* stay untouched.
       Use the option -f to also delete mail in mailbox(es) below these folders.

       Ipurge reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.

OPTIONS

       -f     Force deletion of mail in all mailboxes.

       -C config-file
	      Read configuration options from config-file.

       -d days
	      Age of message in days.

       -b bytes
	      Size of message in bytes.

       -k Kbytes
	      Size of message in Kbytes (2^10 bytes).

       -m Mbytes
	      Size of message in Mbytes (2^20 bytes).

       -x     Perform an exact match on age or size (instead of older or larger).

       -X     Use delivery time instead of Date: header for date matches

       -i     Invert match logic: -x means not equal, date is for newer, size is for smaller

       -s     Skip over messages that have the Flagged flag set.

       -o     Only purge messages that have the Deleted flag set.

FILES

       /etc/imapd.conf
