Quick question about finding the PID of long-running processes

The end result that I'd like is to terminate any process on my ps -u username list that extends beyond 20 minutes. I know for a fact that this process will be named l[0-999].exe, but I don't know the number in between and I won't know the PID. Is there a way to use grep or pidof to do this task every 20 minutes or so?

Thanks!
