I would like to be able to write to the log that gets written by certain processes how long the process took. I could do this by running the command in a shell script with date either side of the command and work the rest out by myself but I am certain that it is possible with the time command but attempts so far have eluded me. I am beginning to think I dreamt ever seeing it!

Hi Langford
It is simple...Just run this command syntax
syntax:
$time command(script)
eg;
$time date
Wed Aug 27 18:20:36 EDT 2003
real 0m0.01s
user 0m0.00s
sys 0m0.01s
From this one can conclude that date process/command took 1 sec time to complete execution.
