If you have processes which takes a bit longer, especially if you know round about how much time it takes to complete, it is cool to know how long the process is already running.

USAGE: duration [h|help|v|version|<command>]
where
        [v|version] - prints the version
        [h|help] - prints the help
        <command> - a SINGLE command or script to execute

would work:
        duration sleep 5
        duration script.sh
would NOT work:
        duration sleep 5 && sleep 4

It's important to understand that currently only a single command with or without arguments can be executed. If you are chaining commands with || or && or for example, you need to put your command into a script and execute that.

In order to build from source you need go and make installed. Run: make build, this will place a binary duration in a $PWD/bin, directory.

cd ~/ && \
git clone [email protected]:mstruebing/duration.git && \
cd duration && \
make build && \
duration

Then put the binary somewhere in your $PATH

go get -u github.com/mstruebing/duration

You can also grab a release from the release page.

If you use Arch-Linux you can simply install the duration-git-package. AUR-link

i.e:

trizen -S duration-git
