Thanks to Bob Marcan, Charles Ballowe, Jeff Leafey,

Boardman, Peyton Bland, and J.A. Gutierrez .
Perl seemed to be the favorite, and that is what I
ended up using. A sampling of responses is included.
Here is my script for a vdump | vrestore, and to clock
the time it took. I could precede the vdump with the
“time” command, but I like this better.
#! /bin/ksh
#
DATE=`date +"%r %d %h %y (%a)"`
echo $DATE >> /usr/scripts/prod_on_mars.out
DATE1=`perl -e "print time()"`
/sbin/vdump -0f - /prod_on_mars | /sbin/vrestore -xf -
-D /prod
DATE2=`perl -e "print time()"`
ELTIME=$(( $DATE2 - $DATE1 ))
ELTIMEMIN=$(( $ELTIME/60 ))
ELTIMEHRS=$(( $ELTIMEMIN/60 ))
ELTIMESEC=$(( $ELTIME%60 ))
echo "Elapsed Time (h:m:s) =
$ELTIMEHRS:$ELTIMEMIN:$ELTIMESEC" >>
/usr/scripts/prod_on_mars.out
df -k /prod /prod2 >> /usr/scripts/prod_on_mars.out
echo
"-----------------------------------------------------------------"
>> /usr/scripts/prod_on_mars.out
#
tail -49 /usr/scripts/prod_on_mars.out > /tmp/newfile
rm /usr/scripts/prod_on_mars.out
mv /tmp/newfile /usr/scripts/prod_on_mars.out
#
mailx -s "jupiter dump" . . .
RESPONSES:
----------------------------------
you can always do
perl -e "print time"
or to get a newline after it:
perl -e '$x=time; print "$x\n"'
that will print seconds since epoch.
Charles Ballowe
-----------------------------------
Rich,
You can install GNU date, but since you've already got
Perl on board,
try something like:
perl -e 'print time()'
This returns the 'epoch' just like the %s flag to GNU
date.
Here's an example of using this to calculate the run
time of a program:
START=`perl -e "print time()"`
./program-to-test
END=`perl -e "print time()"`
ELAPSED=$(( $#ND - $START ))
echo "Program took $ELAPSED seconds to run"
It's a bit of a kludge, but it does let you do what
you need without
installing anything else. Hope that helps!

I've always just used
perl -e 'print time, "\n"'
(well, suitably aliased.)

Hi,
Using Perl: perl -e 'print time()."\n"'
Good luck.
/Martin Adolfsson
----------------------------
It's actually the native way UNIX keeps time, so there
are any number
of ways to do it, all of which ultimately access the
kernel's internal
clock. Here's one way:
perl -e 'print time(), "\n"'
Tim Cutts
---------------------------
perl -le 'print time'
