ps command to check for long running processes on AIX

[MICKKEY]

Hi All

This is my first posting on tek-tip. Ok here's the problem
I'd like check for long running processes using the ps command but I'm not sure if I'm attacking this the right way or should I use Perl instead?

script:
logdir=/usr/local/logs
lg=30:00 test="`ps aux|grep [P]SAPPSRV | awk '{print $10}'`"
for i in $test do
if [[ $test -gt $lg ]]
then
echo "There is a long process"
else
echo "NO LONG RUNNING PROCESS"
fi
done


Any help would be great
thanks
James

the test condition won't work with a colon : in it
so change the following -
lg=3000
test="`ps aux|grep APPSRV | awk '{print $10}'`" |sed 's/://g'`

the sed will remove the : and you'll have integers for comparison.
