From: (Stephen Tihor) <TIHOR@NYU-CMCL1.ARPA> If you have control over the input file or the input file is null then the command: SPAWN/INPUT=NL:/OUTPUT=outfile/wait command will to command </dev/null >outfile and the statistics will appear at then end of the file. Modifying the input file (assuming it contains no leading $ to end with $LOGOUT/FULL and doing a SPAWN/INPUT=modified_input_file/OUTPUT=outfile/WAIT command will also work. If the input file is something you don;t want to play with making it: $ CREATE TIMECOM.COM $ ASSIGN inputfile SYS$INPUT /user $ ASSIGN outputfile SYS$OUTPUT /user $ command ^Z $ SPAWN/INPUT=NL:/OUTPUT=timeinformationlocation/WAIT @TIMECOM will handle it quickly. Using any of the various command timing tools people have written over the \years and submitted to the DECUS tapes is also functional but not useful in a hurry if you don;t have the right tape. \\ Stephen Tihor / CIMS / NYU / 251 Mercer Street / New York, NY 10012 // (( DEC Enet: RHEA::DECWRL::"""TIHOR@NYU-CMCL1.ARPA""" NYUnet: TIHOR.CMCL1 )) // ARPAnet: Tihor@NYU-CMCL1 UUCPnet address: ...!ihnp4!cmcl2!cmcl1!tihor \\ -------

From: ricks@ucbic (Rick L Spickelmier) This may be a simple question for VMS gurus, but for a UNIX type just trying to run a few tests on VMS, I'm confused.... I need to get cpu time for a process and have the input and output redirected. The equivalent UNIX command would be: time executable < input > output Can anybody out there tell me how I can do this under VMS? Thanks alot, Rick Spickelmier, ricks@berkeley
