Ps output field extract
This is the output from ps -ef cmd . I have to extract the fourth (C) and the seventh (TIME) field
Code:
root 3932344 3801216      Apr 08      -  0:00 /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/ERrmd
 root 3997836       1       0   Apr 08      -  0:00 /usr/sbin/uprintfd
 root 4128894 3801216   0   Apr 08      -     0:09 /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/rmcd -x
root 4325512       1        1   Apr 08      -     3:21 /usr/sbin/getty /dev/console
root 4391046 3801216     0   Apr 08      -      0:00 /bin/ksh/
 root 5439640 6815806   1    12:32:31  pts/0  0:00 -ksh

I have used cut -d " " -f4 to extract the 4th but need some help to extract the 7th field . cut -d " " -f7 can't be used because of the STIME(Apr 08).

Thanks for help

ps output
Code:
root 4391046 3801216     0   Apr 08      -      0:00 /bin/ksh/
root 5439640 6815806   1    12:32:31  pts/0  0:00 -ksh

Date can have both this format

If you don't require all of the fields in -ef output, then don't use -ef. Your ps can probably be told to only output the two fields sought. Refer to your man page.
