If you want to measure the execution time of a process that you call via the command line (i.e., you want to find out how long it takes to for the process to finish). there is a simple command that one can add to the command calling the process that will achieve this?
I want to find out how long it takes to compile the kernel of that webserver you are reading these lines.
[Solution] Add time before the command you want to measure. For example: time make -j4 zImage to compile the kernel as zImage for ARM device.
The output will look like:
real 74m5,145s
user 252m8,890s
sys 14m13,640s
