ok that makes sense

Now I need to see when the script has started and figure out if it has been already over say 2 hour.

for getting the running time i run this
Code:
ps -ef | grep batch_download_x

which gives me back
Code:
splgwdv 12784 12767  0 13:13:06 pts/ta    0:00 /bin/ksh ./batch_download_x

1. now how to get that 13:13:06 out of it
2. compare it with system date

---------- Post updated at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:52 PM ----------

I want to run this command

Code:
ps -ef | grep batch_download_x

and the want to put the output
Code:
splgwdv 12784 12767  0 13:13:06 pts/ta    0:00 /bin/ksh ./batch_download_x

to a variable

PTS_HELP(1)						       AFS Command Reference						       PTS_HELP(1)

NAME
pts_help - Displays help for pts commands SYNOPSIS
pts help [-topic <help string>+] [-help] pts h [-t <help string>+] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The pts help command displays the complete online help entry (short description and syntax statement) for each command operation code specified by the -topic argument. If the -topic argument is omitted, the output includes the first line (name and short description) of the online help entry for every pts command. To list every pts command whose name or short description includes a specified keyword, use the pts apropos command. OPTIONS
-topic <help string>+ Indicates each command for which to display the complete online help entry. Omit the pts part of the command name, providing only the operation code (for example, specify "membership", not "pts membership"). If this argument is omitted, the output briefly describes every pts command. -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. OUTPUT
The online help entry for each pts command consists of the following two or three lines: o The first line names the command and briefly describes its function. o The second line lists aliases for the command, if any. o The final line, which begins with the string "Usage", lists the command's options in the prescribed order. Online help entries use the same symbols (for example, brackets) as the reference pages in this document. EXAMPLES
The following command displays the online help entry for the pts membership command: % pts help membership pts membership: list membership of a user or group aliases: groups Usage: pts membership -nameorid <user or group name or id>+ [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-force] [-help] PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
