Question

I have this shell script which executes the following command:

#!/bin/sh
echo -e  " {\"username\":\"user\",\"password\":\"mypasswd\",\"data\"" > $file

How do I need to adjust this in order to measure the execution time and echo both, execution time and script output to a file?

Any tips?

Answer 1

Use the time command. For example:

time (
    echo -e  "$(date) \n--\n{\"username\":\"user\",\"password\":\"mypasswd\",\"data\": [$formated]}\n --"
) > $outputFileName 2>&1
