• timerun: time runs on cluster or any other linux environment

Windows

Attached .exe implements Unix "time" for Windows, with POSIX-compliant output formatting. Adapted from code in Microsoft Singularity RDK 2.0.

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.
