SYNOPSIS
     timex [ options ] command


DESCRIPTION

     The timex command reports,  in seconds, the elapsed time,
     user time,  and system  execution time for  command where
     command is a local  command.  With flags specified, timex
     can list or summarize process accounting data for command
     and all of its children, and report total system activity
     during  the execution  interval.   Output  is written  to
     standard error.   The system  uses the  /usr/adm/pacct to
     select  process  records   associated  with  command  and
     includes background  processes having  the same  user ID,
     work station ID, and execution time window.

        total characters  transferred by  command and  all its

        its children.   The number  of blocks read  or written
        and the  number of  characters transferred  are always
        reported.  The f, h, k, m, r, and t arguments, defined
        in the  acctcom command,  modify the other  data items
        reported.
