I use the time utility to time my make buildworlds, i.e. time make buildworld which works great. However, I usually want to redirect the output of make buildworld to a file so I can read it or tail -f it, i.e. make buildworld 2>&1 > /tmp/buildworld.log & Attaching the word time to the beginning of the previous command still times, but outputs onto the terminal that I started the whole thing from, which means I have to call my wife to look at my screen and get my performance data (assuming it's still open.) I tried a subshell, too: (time make buildworld) 2>&1 > /tmp/buildworld.log & which also didn't work. What obvious thing am I overlooking? Is the 2>&1 perhaps not working properly (this is /bin/sh)?
