To measure the time taken to run a command on the terminal, you can use the time command in Unix-like systems. Here's an example:
time <command>
Replace <command> with the actual command you want to measure. When you run this on the terminal, it will display the time taken to execute the command along with other statistics like CPU usage and memory consumption.
Here's an example usage:
time systemctl restart httpd
This will display the time taken to list the files and directories in the current directory using the "time systemctl restart httpd" command.
output:
In this example, the command took approximately 1.170 seconds of real time, 0.007 seconds of user CPU time, and 0.006 seconds of system CPU time to execute.
Note that the output from the time command may vary slightly depending on the operating system and shell you are using.
