    time in bash

    Hi,
    What is a command in bash script to get time same like time in perl? Time in seconds. I just want to calculate how long will it take to run my process. Thanks.

    Would the %s option in date command work:

    %s seconds since 00:00:00 1970-01-01 UTC (a GNU extension)

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
STRT=`date "+%s"`
sleep 10
END=`date "+%s"`
DIFF=$(($END-$STRT))
echo "Ran $DIFF seconds"
