Public bug reported: Binary package hint: time
Ubuntu Release: 10.04 Kernel Version: Linux-2.6.32-22-generic Package Version: 1.7-23build1 Repository: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main The `time` command will not accept arguments. For example, ~$ time -f "%E" nslookup google.com -f: command not found real 0m0.184s user 0m0.140s sys 0m0.030s ~$ `time`s man page clearly specifies -f is a valid argument and there is even an example with the following syntax, ~$ time -f "%E real,%U user,%S sys" ls -Fs Something like this should have returned only the formatted value. ~time -f "%E" ls <ls return> 0m0.184s --- Using `time` without parameters gives proper return values. ** Affects: time (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- time program does not accept arguments https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/593199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
