Suggestion : put a modification of date command in the start of the script, then in the end of the script and have it append to a log file. Then you'll be able to see the difference. Or : let's say that the crontab will execute /home/user/script.sh --> put "/usr/bin/time -f "{#%e#}" -o timelog -a" in the front, this will write the time for execution of the script in file called "timelog". Then "cat timelog" and the time reported will look something like : {#0.16#}
The other way basically is using merely "time", e.g "time ls -la", which will report :
Quote:
real 0m0.119s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m0.011s
but I don't think you can use it within cronjob, as it's reporting only to STDOUT, I tried to redirect the output to file - no dice. So /usr/bin/time should do the trick. HTH.

Hi,
I'm writing a script and have become stuck trying to define a variable (COMP) by adding an elapsed time (ELAPSE e.g 00:55) to a start time (START e.g 23:50).
Can anybody give me a solution as to how I can get a completion time in hh:mm from the variables above?
thanks

time(1T) Tcl Built-In Commands time(1T)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
time - Time the execution of a script
SYNOPSIS
time script ?count?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command will call the Tcl interpreter count times to evaluate script (or once if count isn't specified). It will then return a string
of the form
503 microseconds per iteration
which indicates the average amount of time required per iteration, in microseconds. Time is measured in elapsed time, not CPU time.
EXAMPLE
Estimate how long it takes for a simple Tcl for loop to count to a thousand:
time {
for {set i 0} {$i<1000} {incr i} {
# empty body
}
}
