Which scripting language are you trying to use? And what do you mean by "get times"? Do you mean random time?
i'm using bash scripting language. No i'm writing a script that get all process that is running between specify time for e.g 12:00:00 till 13:00:00, how can get it?
its my script:
#!/bin/bash
num=0
echo -n "Enter a number: > "
read num
ps -eo pid,start,cmd | awk '$2<expr$(date +"%T"- $num)'| grep "[o]racle${ORACLE_SID}.*(LOCAL=NO).*$"
maybe it is better that i describe my question in anther way! assume, i wrote a script e.g test.sh and i wanna execute it like bash.sh 5.
i wanna it get all process that is running of 5 hours ago till currently time. how can i do it?

Instead of "start" in your command, you should use one of the following:
etime: elapsed time since the process was started
bsdtime: accumulated cpu time, user + system.
cputime: cumulative CPU time
