I want to know the significance of each field . .

Thanks for reply Smilie
I'm guessing -- only guessing, mind you -- that something in your scripts is using the shell's time builtin. This can change a lot across different systems but I recognize some parts of it:

It's telling you how much time something spent running as User(5.85 seconds), as System (4.679 seconds), and a total of 16.78 seconds (so must have spent some seconds just sitting waiting for I/O).

Try time sleep 10 in your shell.

The rest I'm not sure of. I'm not even sure what the "something" was since you refuse to post your script. What's your system? uname -a if you don't know.
