Hi all,

I'm trying to use the command "time" to access information about a job,
but without success.
The man page tells me that I can use options to time, like:

time -o output-file command command-args
time -v command command-args
time --help

but nothing of this works. All I get is (in the last example):

bash: --help: command not found

real    0m0.001s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

I get the same thing in all option cases.

Why doesn't it accept any option, and keep interpreting the options as
the commands?
