First you need to save it as a script,

Code:
$ vi /directory/script_dir/your_script

Put that in your script:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

ps -eaf|grep oracleTRLV |  \ 
while read one pid restofline
do
     kill -9 $pid
done

Use the crontab to schedule the task

Code:
$ crontab -e

Create an entry at the end of the file:
0 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22 * * * /directory/script_dir/your_script > /tmp/your_script.log 2>&1

Shell programming in HP-Unix

Is there a possibility to insert into the program a conditional kill? Let me explain:
1) The result of ps -eaf|grep oracleTRLV is:
oracle 17528 1 0 07:58:07 ? 0:01 oracleTRLV (LOCAL=NO)
oracle 18432 1 0 08:16:57 ? 0:00 oracleTRLV (LOCAL=NO)
oracle 18596 1 0 08:22:52 ? 0:00 oracleTRLV (LOCAL=NO)

2) If now is 8:00 AM can I kill just the processes that have a 7:00 AM (or earlier)?

3) Can you guys recommend a programming book? I assume that this is Shell programming? sorry I'm a .net programmerSmilie

Thank you.

Exemple of a basic conditionnal kill :

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

ps -eaf|grep oracleTRLV |  \ 
while read one pid dummy1 dummy2 time restofline
do
     hour=${time%"${time#??}"}
     current_hour=`date +%H`
     if [ $hour -lt $current_hour ]    # this is a very basic time comparison you can elaborate a more sophistaced one
     then
         kill -9 $pid
     fi
done

Found links for documentation here
