So grepping for that month and date combination should work:

ps -ef | grep '[A-Z][a-z][a-z][0-9][0-9]'

Hope this helps.
If its past a year, then it would display the year instead.

awk works very well for me.

On top of the awk syntax, I need to pull out the PIDs with "kill -9 PID" command.
I will manually execute "kill -9 PID" when needed.

Please advise how to add the below to the awk syntax.
PHP Code:
|awk '{print "kill -9 "$2}'

Code:
ps -ef | awk '$5 ~ /[[:alpha:]]+/ {print "kill -9 "$2}'

or
Code:
ps -ef | awk '{if(!match($5,"(..):(..)")){print "kill -9 "$2}}'

etc.

(Although they won't actually kill anything. Which is probably a good thing!)
