Grep files older than 1 day
I thought that this would work for grep'ing files older than 1 day.
HTML Code:
ps -o etime,pid,user,args -e|awk '/^[0-9]+-/'|sort -t- -n -k 1,1 |grep qdaemon |grep /usr/bin/ksh
But, it is not grep'ing any of files (i.e. below) older than 1 day.

HTML Code:

Are you looking for files or for processes?

Sorry!! I am looking for PID older than 1 day.
Please advise.

Try this:
Code:
ps -o etime,pid,user,args -e | awk '$1 ~ /[0-9]+\-/'

As I can't see "/usr/bin/ksh" in any of the lines matching "qdaemon" I'm not surprised your output is empty. Try without the last grep.

The date and time looks confusing. Is there a way to make human-readable?

Please advise.
