you have the risk of running some other script of the same name.

say for example the script name is run.ksh,
you have it in your current directory as /users/some/data/run.ksh
and in another directory with the same name as /users/some/run.ksh
and the directory /users/some is in your $PATH variable.

If you intend to run the actual run.ksh in /users/some/data/run.ksh
from /users/some/data/ run it as ./run.ksh

else running as run.ksh would execute run.ksh available in /users/some/ directory and not the desired one!!!

NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell SYNOPSIS
sh times ksh times DESCRIPTION
sh Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell. ksh Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell. On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways: 1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes. 2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments. 3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort. 4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari- able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not performed. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
