time 不仅仅可以统计时间，还可以反映CPU、内存情况等。
一、time
格式 ： time [options] [commands] [arguments]
如
time ls
real 0m0.016s <== 实际使用时间（real time）
user 0m0.001s <== 用户态使用时间（the process spent in user mode）
sys 0m0.002s <== 内核态使用时间（the process spent in kernel mode）
time命令跟上-p参数可以只打印时间数值（秒数），不打印单位。
如
time –p ls
real 0.01
user 0.00
sys 0.00
二、更为强大的外部命令 /usr/bin/time
其实：
[[email protected] ~]# type -a time
time is a shell keyword
time is /usr/bin/time
time 是/usr/bin/time 一个简单执行
/usr/bin/time 用法
[[email protected] ~]# /usr/bin/time
Usage: /usr/bin/time [-apvV] [-f format] [-o file] [--append] [--verbose]
[--portability] [--format=format] [--output=file] [--version]
[--help] command [arg...]
如
/usr/bin/time ls
0.00user 0.00system 0:00.01elapsed 10%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 4080maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+294minor)pagefaults 0swaps
很强大有没有啊，再来一发
/usr/bin/time –v ls
