Kill a particular process if it's over an hour hold
I meant old not hold Smilie

I need to kill a process if it's over an hour old and then send an e-mail of the list that was killed.....?

I need to kill ps -ef | grep stashd | grep ' older than an hour?'

#! /bin/bash
if test ps -ef | grep <stashd> (Is over an hour old)???? >>stashd_old.txt

stashd_old=`cat stashd_old.txt`
for i in $stashd_old;
do
kill -9 <stashd>
echo "Found <process_name> older than 1 hour, and killed process name | mail -s "killed <process_name `date`" Jay
fi

done;
etc this stashd process if it's over an hour old?

This will tell you the processes older than an hour....

Code:
#!/bin/sh

first()
{
        echo $1
}

second()
{
        echo $2
}

third()
{
        echo $3
}

ps -ef -o "pid etime comm" | while read PID ETIME COMM
do
        case "$ETIME" in
        *:* )
                DAYS=0
                HOURS=0
                MINUTES=0
                SECONDS=0

                case "$ETIME" in
                *-* )
                        X=`echo $ETIME | sed y/-/\ /`
                        DAYS=`first $X`
                        ETIME=`second $X`
                        ;;
                * )
                        ;;
                esac

                X=`echo $ETIME | sed y/:/\ /`

                case "$ETIME" in
                *:*:* )
                        HOURS=`first $X`
                        MINUTES=`second $X`
                        SECONDS=`third $X`
                        ;;
                *:* )
                        MINUTES=`first $X`
                        SECONDS=`second $X`
                        ;;
                *)
                        ;;
                esac

                HOURS=`echo $HOURS + \( $DAYS \* 24 \) | bc`
                MINUTES=`echo $MINUTES + \( 60 \* $HOURS \) | bc`
                SECONDS=`echo $SECONDS + \( 60 \* $MINUTES \) | bc`

                if test "$SECONDS" -gt "3600"
                then
                        echo $PID $COMM
                fi
                ;;
        * )
                ;;

It means that "bc" is getting rubbish. I tested this on Solaris 9.

I suggest you add a line that says

Code:
echo DAYS=$DAYS, HOURS=$HOURS, MINUTES=$MINUTES, SECONDS=$SECONDS

prior to the maths with bc.

and

Code:
echo $ETIME

after the "do".

I've just tested this on Solaris 10 and it works fine.

Have you copied and pasted exactly as I posted it?

SunOS hostname 5.8 Generic_117350-45

Yep triple checked still get the syntax messages. I'm getting the rest fine as well but it's throwing those messages in every so often?

I don't have a copy of Solaris 8 running here.

Can I suggest you debug it as I suggested?

Alternatively, post the result of

Code:
ps -ef -o "pid etime comm"
