You are running two different time commands. Time, like several other
commands, exists as both a shell built-in and as a standalone program.
The two versions have different features. The "type" command (itself a
shell built-in) is useful to determine what will be executed:
For example, look at the following:
bash$ type time
time is a shell keyword
bash$ type cat #demonstration of a command that's only a binary
cat is /bin/cat
bash$ help time
time: time [-p] PIPELINE
Execute PIPELINE and print a summary of the real time, user CPU
time,
and system CPU time spent executing PIPELINE when it terminates.
The return status is the return status of PIPELINE. The `-p' option
prints the timing summary in a slightly different format. This uses
the value of the TIMEFORMAT variable as the output format.
bash$ /usr/bin/time --help
Usage: /usr/bin/time [-apvV] [-f format] [-o file] [--append]
[--verbose]
[--portability] [--format=format] [--output=file] [--version]
[--help] command [arg...]
bash$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/time
time-1.7-19
For a list of all shell built-ins, type "help" at a bash prompt. Some
other common comamnds that exist both as built-ins and standalone
binaries are test, true, false, kill, and '[' (left-bracket; same thing
as test).
Hope this helps
