Hi Abbadi, glad you liked the article! I post new links more or less every Tuesday, so if I come across such a site I'll definitely share it with everyone. I plan to cover a lot of basics myself, so feel free to submit your questions/topics.

Hi Dave,

time command is a great tool when you need to measure the time for running a command or a whole script, your example is perfect.

But what I'm explaining in this post is timing parts of the script, i.e. a certain execution path within the same script – and last time I checked you couldn't use time command as such a stopwatch.

Thanks for stopping by! I'll update the post to make it include your example and explain my point a bit better.

Why not just use the 'time' command ?

time dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=512 count 30000
