That would work to time the length of the whole script, but Roger is
interested in the length of each sub-task.
If you're averse to using the time command, then calculate the length of
each backup yourself.
#!/bin/tcsh
foreach username ( roger bruce mary fred )
setenv t1 `date +%s`
## Do funky backup command here, eg
## rsync -uvH --delete /home/$username roger@s3cloud:/$username
echo -n "Backup for $username took "
echo `date +%s`-$t1 | bc
end
