Here's a Linux built in version for simple timer. Use the internal bash or external 'time' function. the command 'cat' is used since without args it waits for stdin input. CTRL-C exits: BASH: ----- $ time cat ^C real 0m3.675s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.001s EXTERNAL (see 'man time' for gory details): -------------------------------------------- #Elapsed real time (in [hours:]minutes:seconds) $ /usr/bin/time -f %E cat ^CCommand terminated by signal 2 0:06.93 #Elapsed real time (in seconds). $ /usr/bin/time -f %e cat ^CCommand terminated by signal 2 20.07 Yep, Sat morn and the yard won't mow itself....so I fiddle with bash instead... -Ed _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
