Problem with shell command time in FC6

jeff12300 · 05-29-2007, 08:12 AM

Hello,

I tried to use the command time in order to have the execution time of a shell script but I cant do anything with the output. I use a FC6.
I tried the following
#time myscript.sh > fic_result 2>fic_time

but it doesnt log anything in fic_time
I beleive it was the stderr? so how to get the result of the time command in a file?

If not possible, how to mesure the execution time of a shell?

Thx in advance
jeff.

Assuming that the # is your shell prompt, try this:

Code:

#(time myscript.sh) > fic_result 2> fic_time

Hope this helps.
