Code Process running more than require time
Frineds I need assistance in writing a script . Newbie to scripting.

How to find list of processes that are running more than an hour . Below i used the step to get the etime and stime . Now by getting the result i need to display longer time process with full listing.

Code:
ps -aef -o user,pid,etime,stime,args |grep <process name> | awk '{print $3}'

which gives the below result

Code:
42:03
3-06:21:33
01:08:05
18:23
00:00
01:07:55
59:06
58:13

Thank you in advance

Why not do print $2,3 to get both fields?

I did that but my result should show only the PID's which are taking longer time.

And you need the PID too, not just the time...

Code:
awk '{ split($3,A,":"); T=(A[1]*60)+A[2]; $0=$2" "$3 } T>60'

Note that using -f and -o together is not portable. On many systems that will give you a full listing with the additional fields specified by -o appended to the end the line of normal -f output. If you just want the fields you specified listed for any process that has been running for an hour or more, try:
Code:
ps -ae -o user,pid,etime,stime,args | awk 'split($3,f,/[-:]/)>2'

Or use:
Code:
ps -eo user,pid,etime,stime,args | awk '{n=split($3,A,":");$0=$2" "$3}n>=3'
