On Solaris,
/usr/bin/awkis by default a link to/usr/bin/oawk, which does not recognizesystimeas a built in (or a lot of other extensions over the 7th Edition AWK). Either relink/usr/bin/awkto/usr/bin/nawkor usenawkdirectly, or get GNU Awk (gawk) installed and use that.Other Unix systems like HP-UX, AIX may have similar issues. MacOS X (and, by inference, BSD) install a non-GNU, non-extended version of
awk(thanks for the correction, DMcKee). Linux does not; it uses GNU Awk as the main/onlyawk. Of course, GNU Awk can easily be installed on any of these systems.
