The time Command

The time command is a built-in command in the Korn shell and functions the same as the Unix times command. Here, the ls command is timed. It indicates the amount of elapsed, user, and system time spent executing the ls command:

 $ time ls /usr/spool/uucppublic  mail  real    0m0.33s  user    0m0.05s  sys     0m0.18s
