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.

mimms

mimms(1)						      General Commands Manual							  mimms(1)

NAME

       mimms - mms (e.g. mms://) stream downloader

SYNOPSIS

       mimms [options] <url> [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       mimms  is a program designed to allow you to download streams using the MMS protocol and save them to your computer, as opposed to watching
       them live. Similar functionality is available in full media player suites such as Xine, MPlayer, and VLC, but mimms is quick  and  easy	to
       use and, for the time being, remains a useful program.

OPTIONS

       --version
	      show program's version number and exit

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       -c, --clobber
	      automatically overwrite an existing file

       -r, --resume
	      attempt to resume a partially downloaded stream

       -b BANDWIDTH, --bandwidth=BANDWIDTH
	      the desired bandwidth for stream selection in BANDWIDTH bytes/s

       -t TIME, --time=TIME
	      stop downloading after TIME minutes

       -v, --verbose
	      print verbose debug messages to stderr

       -q, --quiet
	      don't print progress messages to stdout

URLS

       mimms  supports	only  URLs  that  are supported by libmms, e.g. mms://, mmsh://, mmst://.  Previous versions tried to do fancy things with
       http:// URLs and .asx files, but this version does not (yet?) support that.
