Difference: Timerun (1 vs. 3)

Note that: 1) timerun.exe will not work for programs which explicitly assign subprocesses to windows JobObjects (extremely unlikely for non-system monitoring software). 2) Requires .NET 3.5 or better 3) Requires Windows 2000 or newer

On some windows systems which otherwise seem to meet these requirements, timerun.exe has been reported to consistently fail, with an "access denied" error, regardless of user account permissions. It is not yet clear to us why this is occurring, or how to fix it.

Windows

Attached .exe implements Unix "time" for Windows, with POSIX-compliant output formatting. Relies on .NET 3.5 or better. May or may not work on Windows XP or earlier; definitely works on Windows 7. Adapted from code in Microsoft Singularity RDK 2.0.

Command:

timerun [time-limit] [cmd] 1> [result-file] 2> [time-file]

Description:

Run [cmd] for at most [time-limit] and [cmd] outputs are in [result-file] and runtime information is in [time-file]. If the [cmd] finished before timeout, the true runtime will be writen in [time-file].

You need run this command in bash mode.
