Linux time command will produce the output in minute and second format.
Is it possible to change it to hour format?



[user@Linux ~]$ time ./script.sh

real 394m30.145s
user 388m20.129s
sys 16m16.255s
[user@Linux ~]$


It would be nice if the output can be formatted like this



[user@Linux ~]$ time ./script.sh

real 6 Hours 34 Minutes 30.145s
user 6 Hours 28 Minutes 20.129s
sys 16m16.255s
[user@Linux ~]$

          You can use /usr/bin/time instead as I doubt if the shell time keyword has formatting options.



          /usr/bin/time -f "%E" ./script.sh

            The time keyword does have formatting options, albeit very limited. See TIMEFORMAT in Bash Variables.
