Output time: xx after long running commands (default: 3 seconds) and export ZSH_COMMAND_TIME variable for usage in your scripts.

It is similar to the builin feature REPORTTIME, but it outputs only if user + system time >= REPORTTIME in config. For example:

$ time sleep 3
sleep 3  0,00s user 0,00s system 0% cpu 3,008 total

Sleep doesn't consume any cpu time and REPORTTIME "doesn't see" such idle commands.

If you need to monitor only cpu-angry commands, use REPORTTIME instead this plugin.

Configuration

You can override defaults in .zshrc (inside Fig coming soon)

# If command execution time above min. time, plugins will not output time.
ZSH_COMMAND_TIME_MIN_SECONDS=3

# Message to display (set to "" for disable).
ZSH_COMMAND_TIME_MSG="Execution time: %s sec"

# Message color.
ZSH_COMMAND_TIME_COLOR="cyan"

# Exclude some commands
ZSH_COMMAND_TIME_EXCLUDE=(vim mcedit)

Customization

You can customize view of the plugin by redefinition of function zsh_command_time. There is an example of custom definition zsh_command_time:

zsh_command_time() {
    if [ -n "$ZSH_COMMAND_TIME" ]; then
        hours=$(($ZSH_COMMAND_TIME/3600))
        min=$(($ZSH_COMMAND_TIME/60))
        sec=$(($ZSH_COMMAND_TIME%60))
        if [ "$ZSH_COMMAND_TIME" -le 60 ]; then
            timer_show="$fg[green]$ZSH_COMMAND_TIME s."
        elif [ "$ZSH_COMMAND_TIME" -gt 60 ] && [ "$ZSH_COMMAND_TIME" -le 180 ]; then
            timer_show="$fg[yellow]$min min. $sec s."
        else
            if [ "$hours" -gt 0 ]; then
                min=$(($min%60))
                timer_show="$fg[red]$hours h. $min min. $sec s."
            else
                timer_show="$fg[red]$min min. $sec s."
            fi
        fi
        printf "${ZSH_COMMAND_TIME_MSG}\n" "$timer_show"
    fi
}

You can see result of this function on the following screenshot:

Variable $ZSH_COMMAND_TIME contains execution time in seconds. We calculate how many minutes and hours it was and print this information to terminal.

  • Commands that were executed less than one minutes highlights by green color.
  • Commands that were executed less than three minutes highlights by yellow color.
  • Commands that were executed more than three minutes highlights by red color.

Usage with powerlevel9k theme

You should not want to use this plugin with powerlevel9k. Sinse powerlevel9k v0.6.0 theme have native segment commandexecutiontime (see PR), so you can just add it to your prompt:

POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(status background_jobs vcs command_execution_time time)

If you still want to use it with powerlevel9k, add custom element in .zshrc:

POWERLEVEL9K_CUSTOM_COMMAND_TIME="zsh_command_time"
POWERLEVEL9K_CUSTOM_COMMAND_TIME_BACKGROUND="253" # white
POWERLEVEL9K_CUSTOM_COMMAND_TIME_FOREGROUND="000" # black

And add element custom_command_time to your prompt:

POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(status background_jobs vcs custom_command_time time)

Provision with ansible
