Hello, Well I have spent hours looking through the man pages on time(2), bash, and trying to modify the SBU calculation script that jhalf uses to work as a standalone to no avail.
The script at: http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/alfs-discuss/2005-December/007441.html which has a few more features than the one on Bruce's SBU page: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~bdubbs/about.html is what I am using, with the program name modified accordingly. what I need is the value of Elapsed Time set to a variable so that I can divide it by the base_sbu value of bin-utils. I know that I can manually do this, but I really do need it to work in a script. The examples I have found on google are no help to me. There has to be a way to just pass the integer value of Elapsed Time to a variable without getting the frigging error that it is not an integer value. I know from the research that time outputs to stderr. I am NOT a scripter nor a very good programmer as I normally hate going around in endless circles going no where.
