It doesn't. Time duplicates its stdout file descriptor so as to not mix the output from the program being timed with the time output. So >file would actually store the output of the program being timed in file, not the little timing chart. There are ways to get around it, but they are weird. I dont remember how was it though. -- David Eduardo Gómez Noguera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
