I want to keep track of how long a task is running. Thinking it wouldn't take that long, I opted not to run time before it. The fact that it is taking a long time, if I revisit the machine in the morning, what would be the best way to find out what time it ended?
I the terminal where the command is running, type 'date', hit enter, and walk away.
At some point, the command will exit and 'date' will execute.
