Track the time a command takes in UNIX/LINUX?
Use
/usr/bin/time
instead that the time builtin in the bash: it is more configurable AFAIK.
e.g. /usr/bin/time --format=' \n---- \nelapsed time is %e'ls
Here is how a sleep
of one second looks like, timed with time
:
$ time sleep 1real 0m1.001suser 0m0.000ssys 0m0.000s
