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?
Interesting thread here.
