Hi you,

I think my problem is very similar, so I posted my question here.
I want to measure the time my script runs. So that at the end of teh script I can tell the user the execution of the script demo took 11min 05 sec.

Now I stored the date of the execution and the endtime of the execution.
I just calculated the time like LivinFree in his script.

But the problem is, that if the script starts at 10:59:00 and ends at 11:01:00
I get as result a time of 42 minutes!!!

How can I solve this??

Or is there a better way to measure the time a acript takes within a script. I don't like to have two scripts, with one in the background...

THX

NAME
ipescript - Run an Ipe script (written in Lua) SYNOPSIS
ipescript script { arguments } DESCRIPTION
ipescript runs an Ipe script written in Lua. The Ipe bindings are automatically available in the script. Ipescript looks for the script in any of the script directories. The script argument should not contain the .lua extension. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
ipescript respects the following environment variables: IPELATEXDIR the directory where ipetoipe runs Pdflatex. IPESCRIPTS a list of directories where Ipescript will look for scripts. When this variable is not set, Ipe searches first the current directory, then ~/.ipe/scripts, and finally the system-wide Ipe script directory. When this variable is set, it should contain a list of directories, separated by semicolons. A single under- score is replaced by the system-wide Ipe script directory. IPEDEBUG set this to 1 for debugging output from ipescript. AUTHOR
Otfried Cheong REPORTING BUGS
Please report bugs using Ipe bugzilla at http://ipe7.sourceforge.net/bugzilla.html SEE ALSO
Ipe is documented fully in The Ipe Manual, which is available online at http://ipe7.sourceforge.net/manual/manual.html . August 28, 2011 IPESCRIPT(1)
