How to calculate time spent for Linux system administration?
- by Jaakko
I would love figuring out how much time I actually have spent in shell performing administrative duties. For billing of course, this information is not sufficient, but it would be helpful to figure out how much time I have actually spent in shell.
My question is:
How anyone got tips on how to calculate time spent in shell (in hours + minutes), let's say per user account?
Could anyone recommend a software that could be used to analyze this time?
Optionally I would like to know about ways how to categorise time spent (e.g. 1 hour for Apache, 2 hours for Samba, etc.)
Also, your takes on how you monitor your admin time, are also much appreciated!
To narrow down the problem, I am specifically interested in ways of tracking time spent in shell for Linux system administration
