Time A Script

[TamedTech]

Hello guys,

I'm somewhat of an amature with when it comes to this kind of bash scripting, but i'm currently changing some of my code in a hope to enhance performance, and i'm looking for a way to activly monitor that performance increase.

The idea would be to run the two versions of the script, old and new, and see the execution time for each version.

Whats the best way to achieve this? I'd be looking to mesure this as accuratly as possible, down to milliseconds or somthing.

Thanks,

Rob

Thanks mate, thats fantastic stuff, I'll give it a run through in the morning, I'm moving some variable storage out of flat text and into an array, i'm hoping it'll help performance.
