Timing a command's execution in PowerShell

Question

Is there a simple way to time the execution of a command in PowerShell, like the \'time\' command in Linux?
I came up with this:

$s=Get-Date; .\\do_somet         


        

Answer 1

You can also get the last command from history and subtract its EndExecutionTime from its StartExecutionTime.

.\do_something.ps1  
$command = Get-History -Count 1  
$command.EndExecutionTime - $command.StartExecutionTime
