PROCESS EXECUTION TIME 
To find the execution
 time of a process,
 
 The 'time' command
 will tell you the answer.
 'man  time'.
 
 Syntax:
 time
 
 For Ex:
 $ /usr/bin/time find / -name csh.1 -print
 
 real     1:15.5
 
 (time elapsed between
 invocation and
 termination)
 
 user        0.3
 
 (time spent in user
 process code)
 
 sys         3.3
 
 (time spent in system
 code)
 
 The executable/command
 is run by the 'time'
 as a child process and
 then elapsed, user,
 system time are reported.
 There is a csh  version
 of 'time'. It will
 report the time in
 different format.
 
 
 In Solaris 'ptime' gives
 more accurate results.
 
 /usr/proc/bin/ptime command/executable [ arg ... ]
