You can then $ mkdir ~/src/time; cd $_; apt-get source time to see more about that package and its source. Anyway... The version of time in the build is the busybox version, which as you've noted is quite limited. It would be a good idea to go through the busybox configuration screen and figure out what additional features are needed, and what can be dropped. (be gentle here) In this case, if you really need gnu time, it would be best to add gnu time as an openwrt package, and then drop the applet from the busybox build after it works. Regrettably it is not already packaged up in openwrt. Alternatively, the busybox folk are good on accepting patches, so you could modify busybox to support the syntax for time that you need. As src goes, busybox is VERY modular and easy to deal with. Either way, note this problem in the wiki's issues page. I can see how lacking a good timing utility would be a big problem! > - Srikanth > _______________________________________________ > Bismark-devel mailing list > Bismark-devel@lists.bufferbloat.net > https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bismark-devel
