Using bash version whaterver came /w hail
I wrote in earlier trying to get a sol'n to piping the output of time.
The man page of time says that it outputs to std err. so time command
2> outfile.txt should send all output from time to the file outfile.txt.
When I run this, time's output goes to term and file is created but
void of content.
A bug in bash???
bash cannot recognize the time command from with in a case statement. I
know my case statement is fine, b/c it works w/o the time added in. but
when one of my case options is say...
case $action in
b) time cdrdao read --speed $speed etc --datafile $game.bin.......
..
esac
I get the error "./psx: time: command not found" where psx is name of
script.

thanks
"export TIMEFORMAT="real %lR"
time ls > /dev/null"
to Chris T.
I think this would work but see my problem above regarding the empty
output of std err?????
