Thread: Need help. Simple Shell-script. Time > out.txt

hey there. how can make script work?
here damn peace of code.

code:

function func_x()  {  echo `date`  sleep 1  echo `date`  sleep 1  echo `date`  sleep 1  }    time -f %e -o t_out.txt func_x

what gotta write info running function-time external file.

thanx.

why using function?
can trying achieve in 1 line of [messy] commands:

code:

echo `date`; sleep 1; echo `date`; sleep 1; echo `date`; sleep 1

if assigned variable:

code:

function=`echo `date`; sleep 1; echo `date`; sleep 1; echo `date`; sleep 1`

then use $function run commands
