About timex
The timex command times a command; reports process data and system activity
Syntax
timex [-o] [-p [-f] [-h] [-k] [-m] [-r] [-t]] [-s] command
| -o |
Report the total number of blocks read or written and total characters transferred by command and all its children. This option works only if the process accounting software is installed. |
| -p |
List process accounting records for command and all its children. This option works only if the process accounting software is installed.
Sub options f, h, k, m, r, and t modify the data items reported. The options are as follows:
| -f |
Print the fork(2)/ exec(2) flag and
system exit status columns in the output. |
| -h |
Instead of mean memory size, show the fraction of total available CPU time
consumed by the process during its execution. This ``hog factor'' is computed
as (total CPU time)/(elapsed time). |
| -k |
Instead of memory size, show total
kcore-minutes. |
| -m |
Show mean core size (the default). |
| -r |
Show CPU factor (user time/(system-time + user-time)). |
| -t |
Show separate system and user CPU times. The number of blocks read or written and the number of characters transferred are always reported. |
|
| -s |
Report total system activity (not just that due to command ) that occurred during the execution interval of command . All the data items listed in
sar are reported. |
| command |
Name of the command to execute |
