9.0;rdym (ready_message), revision 9.0, 85/05/14
RDYM (READY_MESSAGE) -- Set system ready message.
usage:  rdym {-on | -off}


FORMAT

  RDYM {-ON | -OFF}


  RDYM  enables  or  inhibits  the  output of a system ready message to standard
  output after execution of each Shell command. The message lists the  CPU  time
  required  to  execute the command and the elapsed time since the last command.
  Both times are reported in seconds and decimal  fractions  of  seconds.    The
  message  appears  on  a  line following the echoed command line in the Shell's
  process transcript pad.

  Turning on the ready message interactively or in a Shell script causes  it  to
  be  printed  after  each  command  of  the  program is executed.  If the ready
  message is not disabled at the end of the Shell  script,  it  will  remain  in
  effect after the Shell script exits.

  Ready  message  printing is enabled and disabled for levels.  The level number
  increases each time a Shell script or the Shell is invoked, and decreases when
  it  exits.    The  times printed in the ready message reflect the CPU and real
  time used since the last message at the same level.  Thus, for example, if the
  ready  message  is  enabled  in  a Shell script, after the last command of the
  program is finished, two ready messages will be printed: one showing the  time
  used by that command, and one showing the time used by the whole Shell script.

  If  the  ready  message is turned on by one level, it will remain on when that
  level exits; however, if it is disabled by a level,  it  will  revert  to  its
  previous state when that level exits.

  By default, system ready messages are disabled at login.


OPTIONS

  -ON                Enable message.

  -OFF               Disable message.
