I want to know how to set time format (12 hrs or 24 hrs) using command.I tried thisode:date +%T -s "2011-02-23 14:00"But it only displays 24 hrs format on TERMINAL but it does not SET 24 hrs format on the system
This is actually in a time format(hh:mm:ss) and how do i add all the values and get the sum in seconds . the output should be in seconds like total number of seconds : 241 secs
I have log file in formatJun/26/2011 01:17:50 wireless ....Jun/26/2011 18:25:15 wireless ....Jun/26/2011 22:34:43 wireless ....I need to put this in format ( only seconds insted hours:minutes:secondes)Jun/26/2011 4670s wireless ....Jun/26/2011 66315s wireless ....Jun/26/2011 81283s wireless ....If i useawk -F: '{ print ($1 * 3600) + ($2 * 60) + $3 }' output iz only 4670,66315,81283....I try to use something likesed "s/ ([0-9][0-9]):([0-9][0-9]):([0-9][0-9] )/`awk -F: '{ print ($1 * 3600) + ($2 * 60) + $3 }'` /g"but doesn't work
i am running ps xo "pid,command" but I can't find my process in the results. I know that the process is running because I run ps ax | grep command-name
I use to know this command but lost it and did not note the entire command on my Linux cheat sheet. Someone once showed me a simple very easy command I could use to simple format a USB flash drive as FAT32 and in the same command also name the label of the drive.I have the device /dev/sdc1 and I am formatting this as FAT32 so it's compatible across multiple systems but also want the drive to have the name 'my_usb'.
Is it possible to print the permission in octal format for a directory recursively?Code: stat -c "%a" /etcIt prints the permission for /etc directory only.
I'm working on Linux OS (Suse/redhat) and trying to format a linux partition from a c program. Is there a way to do this without using : 'system ("mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdxy")'
I'm timing how long it takes to run a command foo. I'm looking to append the results from the time command to a file, and discard the results from the foo command. I tried the following, but it didn't do what I want:
$ time ./foo > /dev/null >> output_from_time_command.txt
I am trying to use the time command to measure the execution time of a small program. The problem is that the command has three outputs. They look like this:
Code: $ time ./a.out real0m51.935s user0m51.060s sys0m0.040s
Should the execution time be the sum of the user and the sys time? sys time is really small.
I am running a script with nohup and this generates a lot of logs.
In order to view the log I use tail -f nohup.out
The problem is that the info supplied by this command is not always the latest//sometimes I need to use the command again order to view the latest info added to the nohup.out file.
I would appreciate help with how to extract the date and time from at command jobs. From what I can tell, the date and time is embedded in the file name (/var/spool/atjobs).I'd be using this information in a (bash) shell script.
I use the time command to measure the wall-clock time of a GPU implementation of an algorithm. When I time the CPU execution of the algorithm time returns a negligible sys time. However, when I time the GPU execution time returns a sys time that is around 20-30% of the total time. If that time was comparable with the negligible sys time of the CPU I would achieve a speedup of a few times higher.
I suspect that the increased sys time is because of the GPU usage, which, I assume, takes some time for the OS because of the drivers etc. I am not sure though, and it is important to figure this out because it will improve my results a lot if I can ignore the sys time and use just the user time for speedup calculations. Also, is there a way to see, in detail, what is the sys running and takes so much time. I am thinking that I might be able to see if it is the driver indeed that causes this delay.
I was reading that if I want to do a one time scheduled command, I should use at, which I've never done, as opposed to cron, which i'm kinda familiar with. But what I want to do is reboot my server at 3am tomorrow and force it to check the file systems with a shutdown -rF. For this do I even need to use "at" or could I just say shutdown -rF 3:00.Will that also know that I mean 3am tomorrow and not say in 3 minutes from now or 3pm?
I set my location, but Debian displays DATE in some messed format. I would expect such neat OS to recognize all those local settings based on my location, but that's not the case. It seems that Debian follows locale settings by set language (which is en_us in my case, as I guess in majority uses) or this format is default in any case
I would like to set date/time to DD.MM.YY. hh:mm:ss, and programs that display date data to follow this setting. Simply put, in Windows there is Control Panel and you set location, then OS uses some regional settings, like currency, separators, date/time format.
In the past, I just edited the /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/dateMenu.js file to alter the date and time format. Today when I tried that, it crashed GNOME Shell and wouldn't let it start..
For some reason, thunderbird uses some random order for the date elements, e.g. MM/DD/YY. I need to change it to YYYY/MM/DD but haven't found where! There is no option in TB to configure this so I guess it just picks some default from regional settings? Where do I need to go to set the date format to its logical form?
In KWrite, you can make a datestamp and timestamp by pressing F7 for a command line and typing "date" therein. I just wondered: is it possible to change the stamp's date/time format, which is mm/dd/yy 24-hour time format? That's fine, but I wish the stamp could include the day of the week. (I use KWrite to keep a text-only personal journal. Any suggestions that I use a different program are welcome but are beside the point.)
I looked through the editor settings options, but found nothing relevant. The settings don't mention the F7 command line and the datestamp/timestamp at all; the only reason I know is because I once asked if there was a way to make one, as in Windows Notepad.
I am troubleshooting file copy time issues between 3 servers. I need to copy the same file from server A to both server B and server C and compare the elapsed times for the copy. Is there an easy way to do this?
