Hi,
Im trying to write some scripts to record some times for creating
graphs. Im trying to use the time command and have it output to a
file. In the man page it gives details of how one can use the -o and
-a switches to output to and append to a file. However the utility
does not seem to recognise these switches. It does mention that these
are GNU options but I thought the version I had was the GNU version.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Niall
Below is the output I get when trying
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ time -a -o log ls
-bash: -a: command not found
real 0m0.001s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.001s
Below is the relevent section of the man page for time
-o FILE, --output=FILE
Do not send the results to stderr, but overwrite the
specified file.
-a, --append
(Used together with -o.) Do not overwrite but append.
