Timing Execution of Apps

[Treripica]

I'm trying to time how long an application takes to complete. Unfortunately, the program in question (Zenworks Personality Migration(or Desktop DNA)) has no useful timer or even a progress bar.

Since I never know when it'll finish, the process takes quite a while, and I don't want to stand around with a stopwatch, I'd like to see if there's a program out there that can do the job.

Does anyone know of one?

If you can call it from the command line, you can write a batch file to echo the ticks before and after it finishes executing.

On most unix systems the 'time' command will do exactly what you want. For Windows I didn't find anything that great, although PowerShell has a built-in function for measuring execution time.

Execute using a batchfile that looks like so:


time /t > timelog.txt
start /wait yourapplication.exe
time /t >> timelog.txt
