First, let me thank everyone who responded to my *first* post to this
list.
This seems like a really good 'community', I'm gonna hang around. ;-)Now, I've written many bash scripts in RedHat, and FreeBSD's set of commands *is* just a little bit different, but I'm gonna need a little shove in the right direction here. I'm not asking for anyone to re-write anything for me, just a friendly suggestion as to exactly to implement the 'time' command so that the file that my daily_report script generates includes the elapsed time in hundredths on the proper line. I've attached the script for reference.
daily_report.sh
