Public bug reported: The time program seems to be horked. It's not executing or recognizing parameters correctly. Start with just executing "time -V" and you will get "bash: -V: command not found". You will see that many of the other paramaters don't work either.
I download the GNU Time source and compiled it and that version seems to work just great. ** Affects: time (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Time paramaters not working https://launchpad.net/bugs/61739 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
