Time –verbose Not Working
I can’t seem to get the verbose mode of time working. I am trying to compare the compute cost of sha256-crypt to sha512-crypt:
time doveadm pw -s sha256-crypt -p secret
real 0m0.128s user 0m0.081s sys 0m0.040s
time doveadm pw -s sha512-crypt -p secret
real 0m0.162s user 0m0.105s sys 0m0.047s
But all attempts to add –verbose fail:
time –verbose doveadm pw -s sha512-crypt -p secret
-bash: –verbose: command not found
Googling gives different recommendations, none work for me.

Provide the full path for time, you are using the bash built-in time. Try: /usr/bin/time –verbose cmd

Note: some shells (e.g.,
<https://linux.die.net/man/1/bash>bash(1)) have a built-in time command that provides less functionality than the command described here. To access the real command, you may need to specify its pathname (something like /usr/bin/time).
Could it be you’ve encountered this?

I had to install the real time command to do this. thanks
Worked after yum install time… :)
