I write a shell script and I want to get execution time of a command but I also redirect output of command to a file. Also, I need to get exit code of this specific command to use it in if statement. Here is what I have tried:
...
TIMEFORMAT=%R
log_file() {
echo "$PROJECT_DIR/logs/$1_$(date %Y%m%d_%H%M%S).log"
}
CODE_TIME=$(time sh -c "ipython -c "%run ./foo.ipynb" > $(log_file "log_file_name") 2>&1")
CODE_RESULT=$?
echo "Code_Result: $CODE_RESULT"
if [ "$CODE_RESULT" -eq 0 ]
...
According to documentation of time
, it returns the exit code of the command but I also execute an echo
command in function. So, anyone has an idea about how can I get exit code of ipython
command? Thanks.
CodePudding user response:
Your quoting in your sample call is unusual. I would expect that
sh -c "ipython -c "%run ./foo.ipynb" > $(log_file "log_file_name") 2>&1"
is translated to
sh -c 'ipython -c %run' './foo.ipynb > somewhere/logs/log_file_name_somedate.log 2>&1'
As for the behaviour of time
wrt return codes, my bash
(5.1.16) behaves like this:
$ time ls "I do not exist" > $(echo newfile) 2>&1
real 0m0,004s
user 0m0,004s
sys 0m0,000s
$ echo $?
2
$ cat newfile
"I do not exist": No such file or directory (os error 2)
And wrt to redirections like this:
$ capture="$(time (ls "I do not exist" > $(echo newfile2) 2>&1) 2>&1)"
$ echo $?
2
$ echo "$capture"
real 0m0,004s
user 0m0,004s
sys 0m0,000s
$ cat newfile2
"I do not exist": No such file or directory (os error 2)
Therefore, I'd suggest you to try changing your call to:
CODE_TIME="$(time (sh -c "ipython -c '%run ./foo.ipynb' > $(log_file "log_file_name") 2>&1") 2>&1)"
CODE_RESULT=$?
