I am trying to get timing paramters from a CGI program. date is just a command for example used here.
when I do: time { date; } everything is good.
when I do: time -o file { date; } I get time -o file { date; } bash: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
How do I correctly issue the command with an option for -o file to output the data to a file.
Why aren't you using standard i/o redirection?
time { date ; } > file
OR to append to the file
time { date ; } >> file
