The current implementation only uses stderr when -p is specified. In addition to the output going to the wrong file descriptor note that the current output without -p is similar to: $ time ls > 1 real 0m0.01s user 0m0.00s sys 0m0.00s $ The current output with -p is similar to: $ time -p ls > 1 real 0.01 user 0.00 sys 0.00 $ The empty line written before the timing statistics is also a bug. Note also that the time fields in the output without -p are aligned, but they are not aligned in the -p output. The standards allow the output to be aligned in both cases. *** (#1 of 1): 2008-06-24 19:31:45 GMT+00:00 <User 1-5Q-8472> === *Workaround* ============================================================= === *Additional Details* ===================================================== Targeted Release: Commit To Fix In Build: Fixed In Build: Integrated In Build: Verified In Build: See Also: Duplicate of: Hooks: Hook1: Hook2: Hook3: no-NAS Hook4: Hook5: Hook6: Program Management: Root Cause: Fix Affects Documentation: No Fix Affects Localization: No === *History* ================================================================ Date Submitted: 2008-06-24 19:31:45 GMT+00:00 Submitted By: <User 1-5Q-8472> Status Changed Date Updated Updated By 3-Accepted 2008-06-26 19:13:05 GMT+00:00 <User 1-5Q-5151> === *Service Request* ======================================================== Impact: Significant Functionality: Secondary Severity: 3 Product Name: solaris Product Release: solaris_nevada Product Build: Operating System: snv_92 Hardware: generic Submitted Date: 2008-06-24 19:31:46 GMT+00:00 === *Multiple Release (MR) Cluster* - 0 ======================================
