Thanks in large part to your answer and comments, the question has gone from -3 at one point to +2 today. Even the answer you suggested to post has got an up-vote. Thank you :)

As you accepted ByteCommander’s answer, it will stay on top anyway. There’s also nothing wrong in (even drastically!) changing a question and adapting it to a good answer. Make it relevant to others. | |
| Sep 8, 2018 at 0:02 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | I totally agree the question is long-winded and contains TMI but that is a pit-fall of writing a succinct question whilst the mind is in the middle of a programming quagmire of new commands and foreign architecture OS. As mentioned earlier, normally I would delete the question that wouldn't interest others after solving the problem the same night. Thanks for taking the time to analyze the question :) | |

I've never thought you of all people rude or hostile.The "TL;DR" section contains the answer which wasn't posted as an answer to not detract from ByteCommander's answer. Even though the awk solution does solve the question, the guilty process (PID) was already running making the question futile. When posted, sort and uniq were in the title and became tags. In hindsight the title should have been "How to find which processes started and ended over a snapshot of real time?" Normally I would just delete the question that wouldn't interest others but I can't because it's been answered.

I'm unable to explain why but we need "do" in the inverted phrase. Also, "worth mentioning" "worthy of mention" "worthy of being mentioned" and perhaps colloquially "worth a mention" are all possible, but maybe not, "worth being mentioned". "Worth" behaves very oddly. Comma splice pedantry. +1 BTW!
