Re: [PLUG] Fwd: lockup

[Nat Taylor]

Do you think it could have something to do with trying to go to sleep or
and then having some sort of problem with the wifi driver?  I've seen that
and the solution is to have the wireless driver disabled before sleep?  I
think power management is always a good place to start looking when a
laptop locks up.  Upstart takes care of stuff while going to sleep on
Ubuntu:

Ed,

   I didn't see this when I looked at the time man page. It makes sense that
invoking time with the command to accept stdin input, and not entering any
would have it keep track of the waiting time.

Thanks,

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

real0m3.675s
user0m0.004s
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 itselfso I fiddle with bash
instead...
