how long has the process been running so far?

[Hanry Zhou]

by using ps -ef command, or gland, how do I find that out?
Thanks,

[Jeff_Traigle]

Assuming you mean that you want the start time of the process. Using "ps -eaf" will add the STIME to the ps display. Date only is displayed for processes started more than 24 hours ago.

Shalom Hanry,

glance or ps or even top will give you the start time of the process.

Hi Hanry:

Using the XPG4 (UNIX95) behavior of the 'ps' command offers the time in format [dd-]hh:mm:ss. For example:

# UNIX95= ps -e -o pid,time,etime,comm

...or for a specific pid:

# UNIX95= ps -p 5678 -o pid,time,etime,comm

Note the space (blank) after the UNIX95= . This keeps the option armed only for the commandline in question.

See the manpages for more information.

Regards!

In Glance, the process start time is listed when you select the process (s command) but not the elapsed time.

Hi,
Use ps command for this.

Ex:
ps -fu < user-id >

will display something like;
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
rtp40 8003 7631 0 09:21 pts/0 00:00:00 su - rtp40

Here, fifth column is the process starting time, you can use awk to manipulate the time, how long the process is running.

Hi,

You can use ps command as;

#ps -e -o etime

This will list out the elapsed time of all process.

Using ps commands etime will give the established time.

UNIX95= ps -ef -o pid,comm,etime,time

Hi Hanry,

#ps -ef o stime

will display the start time of the process

#ps -ef o etime

will display the elapsed time of the prosess

you can use grep along with this to get the requied process stats.
