Killing a process if it is not using any cpu time
Hi i am a newbie thanks in advance
i have a process which keeps on running but doesn't use any CPU time and doesn't do the functionality which it is suppose to do .
If i kill the process and start the process again then the process kicks in and starts using CPU time and continues to do its work , but after sometime it goes to the idle state again.
Don't know y it is doing this. But if i can get a command or a line which will check for the cpu usage of this process and kill it if its idle then my problem will be solved .
Please help me in this.

proc::processtable::process
Process(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Process(3pm)
NAME
Proc::ProcessTable::Process - Perl process objects
SYNOPSIS
$process->kill(9);
$process->priority(19);
$process->pgrp(500);
$uid = $process->uid;
...
DESCRIPTION
This is a stub module to provide OO process attribute access for Proc::ProcessTable. Proc::ProcessTable::Process objects are constructed
directly by Proc::ProcessTable; there is no constructor method, only accessors.
METHODS
kill
Sends a signal to the process; just an aesthetic wrapper for perl's kill. Takes the signal (name or number) as an argument. Returns
number of processes signalled.
priority
Get/set accessor; if called with a numeric argument, attempts to reset the process's priority to that number using perl's
<B>setpriority function. Returns the process priority.
pgrp
Same as above for the process group.
all other methods...
are simple accessors that retrieve the process attributes for which they are named. Currently supported are:
uid UID of process
gid GID of process
euid effective UID of process (Solaris only)
egid effective GID of process (Solaris only)
pid process ID
ppid parent process ID
spid sprod ID (IRIX only)
pgrp process group
sess session ID
cpuid CPU ID of processor running on (IRIX only)
priority priority of process
ttynum tty number of process
flags flags of process
minflt minor page faults (Linux only)
cminflt child minor page faults (Linux only)
majflt major page faults (Linux only)
cmajflt child major page faults (Linux only)
utime user mode time (1/100s of seconds) (Linux only)
stime kernel mode time (Linux only)
cutime child utime (Linux only)
cstime child stime (Linux only)
time user + system time
ctime child user + system time
timensec user + system nanoseconds part (Solaris only)
ctimensec child user + system nanoseconds (Solaris only)
qtime cumulative cpu time (IRIX only)
size virtual memory size (bytes)
rss resident set size (bytes)
wchan address of current system call
fname file name
start start time (seconds since the epoch)
pctcpu percent cpu used since process started
state state of process
pctmem percent memory
cmndline full command line of process
ttydev path of process's tty
