[...] 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?
You're using the shell builtin time command which does not support the options. Try /usr/bin/time and it will work. Cheers, Th. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
