OK -- dumb question that I can't remember the answer to and can't find by googling.
How the heck do I time how long it takes a certain script to run? I've searched the archives and google and apropos and apt-cache on all kinds of variations of "time" (timing, timer, etc) and can't find anything. Do I need to write a 'date +%s' in to the beginning and end of the script and do the math when it finishes? Another dumb bash question later if I can't figure it out.
