Timex Command

[nkshanky]

We recently migrated from HP UNIX to Suse Linux. We have several shell scripts which calls oracle process. In our shell scripts we use command called timex, which is used to return the following output at end of the process.

real 2.7
user 0.3
sys 2.2

It basically returns the elapsed time during the command, the time spent in the system, and the time spent executing the command. Times are reported in seconds.

I am trying to find an equivalent in Suse linux and not sure if there is one. Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks

Try time. Note this may have the same parameters as timrx so check

man time

Time -p is equivalent to timex.

thanks.
