Description Chris Van Hoof 2003-05-23 21:35:31 UTC 
Description of problem:

Trying to access some of the more advanced features of time - using the --format
or -f option described in the man page.   Also tried the TIME env variable. 
None work time is evaluating the -f as a bash command.

RPM package is - time-1.7-14
Comment 1 Florian La Roche 2003-05-26 20:12:08 UTC 
Are you maybe using the bash builtin version of time or the user app
/usr/bin/time?

greetings,

Florian La Roche
Comment 2 Chris Van Hoof 2003-05-29 22:21:29 UTC 
When using the built-in the -f flag spawns errors.  When using /usr/bin/time the
-f flag operates as expected.
