        Try this:

        which time

        You will probably notice that it just returns to the prompt... and does not 
tell you which time... because it is finding the one built into the shell.   

        which /usr/bin/time

        Now you will notice that it finds the system time command--- and the two are 
different.

        compare:

        #>time

        #>/usr/bin/time

        The outputs will be different.  Use the /usr/bin/time and you'll get what you 
want.
