Hello,
I have one script which takes some time to complete.
I Need the total exact time taken by this script.
How can i modify this script.
Regards,
Sam.
time script.sh
hmmm
where should i write the above line...
For example my script name is my_script.ksh...
should i write time my_script.sh inside the same script...
no, you want to invoke the script with time command before it.
Like
time my_script.ksh
Look at
man time

$ time tar cvzf ms.tar MS1.wav
MS1.wav
real 0m5.140s
user 0m5.020s
sys 0m0.140s
time COMMAND
will print time it takes to run COMMAND on stderr.
Cant i directly write in my_script.ksh at the end of the script and as soon as the script is ove it should display on the screen saying that the scrip is sucessfully excuted and the total time taken by the script is 01:00 hrs..some thing like that...
You can do something like :
#!/bin/ksh
t0=`date +%s.%N`
#do the hard work here
t1=`date +%s.%N`
dt=$(echo "$t1-$t2" | bc -l)
echo "It took me $dt seconds. Ufff.."
exit 0
Still not satisfied...Waited, tried doing google and forgotten...
I have one script called abc.ksh, which i execute...
I just need the total time it took to execute the script and display on the screen stating the total time...
create one file and give execute permission to the file
write the below line the file
time your-original-script-name
execute the file, you will get the time for execution
Ok, here you go....
Once again
i needed the total time taken by my script called abc.ksh...like 20 mins or 30 mins or anything to be displayed on scrren as soon as abc.ksh is finished.
What i did as per your suggestion, i created a new script something called fff.ksh and inserted a line in it as below:
time abc.ksh
gave a proper permission..
Next what i did is, inside my original script at the end of abc.ksh, i wrote
/mypath/fff.ksh
below is the output when abc.ksh finished...It didnt gave me any time...
real 0m0.001s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
I gave you two solutions in the previous posts. What exactly is not working there?
Why?
time(1) gives you elapsed time of command specified as its argument. so it gave you the time it took to execute fff.ksh. But you wanted the time it took to run abc.ksh. So do
time abc.ksh
instead of
./abc.ksh
, when you are invoking the script.
OK here you go....
My name of the script is abc.ksh which is approximately taking 8 to 9 mins to execute but iam not sure how exact it is ...so i needed help so posted here...
my abc.ksh script is as below...
#! /bin/ksh
pun=/usr/mi/tics/Par
/$pun/ihy_ed.ksh
ret=$?
if [ $ret -ne 0 ]
then
echo
echo " =====> ERROR OCCURRED WHILE RUNNING ihy_ed.ksh <===== "
echo " =====> ERROR CODE RETURNED BY ihy_ed.ksh=$ret <===== "
exit $ret
else
echo " ====> THE SCRIPT COMPLETED WITHOUT ANY ERRORS ====> "
echo
fi
The above code for the script name abc.ksh works absolutely fine and its taking 8 to 9 mins but dont know the exact time...
I execute it the the below way...
./abc.ksh
now @mirni-- as you said just put the time before the abc.ksh and i did that after the abc.ksh is completely executed.
And below is the out put on the screen after i wrote
-----time abc.ksh
-bash: abc.ksh: command not found
real 0m0.001s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
its not displaying above like 8 or 9 mins as such..

What exactly should i do in my script (abc.ksh) so that it will show me in the end saying that the script took 8 or 9 or any mins or hours to execute..
you are executing wrong , i mean without the relative path.
time ./abc.ksh
This will work
ok thanks @Kumaran..i will surely try it....
one more thing where should i incorporate the above line ..
do u mean i should put it in the end of my script (abc.ksh)...so that as soon as abc.ksh is finished it will give me the total time it completed...
No. You have to execute your script using that line.
usually you execute your command with
prompt> ./abc.ksh
But now
prompt> time ./abc.ksh
fantastic...that was so simple...i did it and got the out put at the end...
a slight confusion
i got 3 lines
real 7m17.844s
user 0m5.168s
sys 0m1.736s
what exactly are these and which one is my time for abc.ksh script....
You may refer the man page of time.
real - starts counting from the moment you start the command to the command's termination, includes all scheduling delays, this would be your elapsed time.
user - how much time it has executed in used mode
sys - how much time in kernel mode
o The elapsed (real) time between invocation of utility
and its termination.
o The User CPU time, equivalent to the sum of the
tms_utime and tms_cutime fields returned by the
times(2) function for the process in which utility is
executed.
o The System CPU time, equivalent to the sum of the
tms_stime and tms_cstime fields returned by the times()
function for the process in which utility is executed.
ok..thanks.Kumaran
One last thing...
if i need to display/print the time using echo or some other command after the completion of abc.ksh, how can it be done..
rename your abc.ksh to abc_wrapped.ksh. and create new abc.ksh as below
#!/bin/ksh
echo `time .\abc_wrapped.ksh`
Make sure you put both the script in the same directory or change the path
hmmm.
Cant i create a new abc_wrapped.ksh and put your code in that...
Why Renaming the name of my script.
you can do either way. I just suggested my way. All you need a wrapper script which will have small code to print the time and will call your original script.
