What platform are you on?
On Linux you can do
ps -p<pid> -oetime
or
ps -C<backupname> -oetime
You just need an external script to report green if it's not found. If it's been going over 24 hours then the format is D-HH:MM:SS so you just need to check for the dash then check the number of days.

The question is, if anybody has a idea,
how i can monitor the runtime for certain processes,
preferably with his pid ?
My real problem is, that my backup-system runs at beginning of the months maybe more than 2 days ... but in the normal way it's runs 2-4 hours ...
So, i want to have a yellow alert after 24 hours and a red alert after 48 hours .. is this possible ?
Thanks & Cheers
