cat bbb | while read line
do
done
1. i don't know what to write betwen the do and dne
2. how can i " take off " the hour and process_id from the line
3. i want that the script will run automatic every 40 minutes (sleep until)?
4. when i enter the user and enviroment that i want to run the process

more like a home work question.

Refer:
man cut : To know how you can cut mins and PIDs
man if : To see how you will see min > 30
man kill : To see how you kill it.
and
finally
man sleep

once done your script is ready and you r ready for the weekend Smilie

your first line itself tells unix which shell to use for the following script.
If you are so much worried of not killing any important process, please take help of someone more expereince with you as the criteria you say for killing the process can be dangerous.
