Re^2: Script for Killing Process of Long Running Time in Linux/Unix

[monkfan]

Thanks so much. That's just what we need.
BTW do you know how can I put that one-liner in CRONTAB?

$ crontab -e

You can put it in crontab directly (everything after the first five fields is considered the command),

* * * * * ps -lf | grep "user" |  perl -ane '($h,$m,$s) = split /:/,$F
+[13]; kill 9, $F[3] if ($h > 1);'

or, wrap it in a shell script and call the shell script from your crontab entry instead.

#!/bin/sh
# longprockill.sh
ps -lf | grep "user" |  perl -ane '($h,$m,$s) = split /:/,$F[13]; kill
+ 9, $F[3] if ($h > 1);'

And call it crontab like so,

* * * * * longprockill.sh

If you wanted to changed this script to kill a process that has been running greater then 5 min. how youd you change the script. i.e. a java process running greater then 5 minutes user is usually applmgr Thank you
