Timing bash script run

[whizkid25]

Hi all. I would like to know how I could time a script run in bash. I would like to code it into the script so it will display (in milliseconds) when the run ends. Thanks in advance.

Simply running the script using the 'time' command might be good enough. A quick look at the man page for time should tell you if it will suffice.

Ok. I did that. It showed me 3 times - real, user and system. Which one should I be referring to?

"man time" holds the answer.
