Find Process

[zoufri75]

I want to find all the process beginning before one day ?

 

[tdatgod]

Define 1 Day?

24 hours prior to now?

or

before midnight today?

ps typically displays hase 2 different display lines.

the TIME Processes started if it newer than 24 hours
the Date Processes starts if it older than 24 hours

Time stamps typically have ':' in them. dates don't.

ps -ef | egrep -v ':'

Therefore doing a ps and ignoring lines that have ':' in them are processes started more than 24 hours ago.

now it is possible that there might be a ':' on the line even when it isn't the time portion of the line, but those cases are few and far between.
