redirecting out of 'time' command
 

I am really embarrased to ask this simple question in the forum.. by right now I am stumped and I have no idea how accomplish what I want.

How do I redirect the output of the 'time' command?

Let us say I want to time a executable, on the sunos I used to type

time `a.out > output` >& timeout &

but in linux it saying 'ambiguous redirect'
How do I accomplish what I want?

BTW I am using tcsh

thanks for your help.

Do you have to use tcsh? With bash you can use the -o ( or --output= ) option to output to a given file.

time -o <output_file> <command>

Although this doesn't work with tcsh, not quite what you were looking for...

Thanks..
I realized if I force tcsh to use the /usr/bin/time instead of the built-in 'time' I could use the -o option.
