Question Help needed for nohup time
Hi All,
Firstly thanks for reading my query..I am a complete newbie in Unix and I recently read about nohup command which is responsible to continue execution in background. But I have found some command where time is used alongwith nohup as given below:-

nohup time A.sh &

I don't know why that time option is given? Can you please give me a reply about using that time option alongwith nohup??

Thanks in Advance,
Saswati

It's not an option, but a separate command, used to time the command given.
