HAHA!! not so fast there buddy. bash-2.05a$ which time /usr/bin/time bash-2.05a$ time date Fri Jun 7 12:11:08 EDT 2002 real 0m0.003s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s bash-2.05a$ /usr/bin/time date Fri Jun 7 12:11:12 EDT 2002 0.00 real 0.00 user 0.00 sys bash-2.05a$ which which /usr/bin/which bash-2.05a$ /usr/bin/which time /usr/bin/time I get burned by this too.
