To start J, use a command line like time > file.out | j.exe
And in your J profile, as the very last time, do smoutput (6!:2''),CRLF,fread<'file.out' -Dan Please excuse typos; composed on a handheld device. -----Original Message----- From: Tracy Harms <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Sat, 27 Aug 2011 15:07:44 To: forum<[email protected]> Reply-To: General forum <[email protected]> Subject: [Jgeneral] Timing J startup I'd like to tell somebody how fast J loads on my machine, but not sure how to time it. I know how to time things within J once it is up, but not how long it takes to come up. I happen to be using Windows 7, 64 bit, and most interested in timing J602, but if it's worth discussing answers here it makes sense to consider all the combinations --Tracy ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
