Time command issuing all zeroes
I am trying to issue the time command on a program so I can see execution times but it is returning all zeroes. Like this:
time pdriver arg1 arg2
0.000u 0.000s 0:00.00 0.0% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w
"0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w" --> The "0+0io" may change sometimes to a different number.
How can I run the time command successfully? I'm using a unix terminal and my program is in c++.

I have a filename 'INITIATE_FINAL_ALL_000080889.dat', and I want to capture just the number '80889' from it.
Here is what I have so far:
%> echo INITIATE_FINAL_ALL_000080889.dat | sed "s/*//g"
000080889
Now, I just need to trim off the padded zeroes.
Thanks,

I wondered if someone could point out the differences between the time commmand and usr/bin/time and the accuracy one might have over another.

Hi,
Using ksh, I have set up aliases (which work fine) in my user's .profile like this:
alias ll = 'ls -lrt'
alias cls = 'clear'
How do I call these same aliases so that they will work after issuing this: ? su - user
I do not want to add aliases to the su shell's .profile or .kshrc. (7 Replies)

of the date/time. The following table lists all available characters with a meaning. All other characters are being copied unmodified to
the output string. If a special character shall not be interpreted it must be preceded with a backslash.
