No, really, only the subject line is in jest: bludnok# grep 'elf make world' ,makelog >>> elf make world started on Sun Jun 6 16:26:52 BST 1999 >>> elf make world started on Sun Jun 6 19:55:14 BST 1999 >>> elf make world completed on Sun Jun 6 19:55:15 BST 1999 bludnok# Or alternatively, the makefile: STARTTIME?= `LC_TIME=C date` thing: @echo "started on ${STARTTIME}" sleep 10 @echo "started on ${STARTTIME}" @echo "completed on `LC_TIME=C date`" produces the following: started on Sun Jun 6 21:30:54 BST 1999 sleep 10 started on Sun Jun 6 21:31:04 BST 1999 completed on Sun Jun 6 21:31:04 BST 1999 Make isn't doing what you expected (here at least).
