4.0;rdym (ready_message), revision 4.0, 81/07/01
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 (2) 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 log in.


OPTIONS

  -ON                Enable message.

  -OFF               Disable message.
