One way would be to use the PROMPT_COMMAND Bash variable to run a function
just before the prompt came up:
function_name () {
read PC
time "${PC}" &
}
Doesn't really run in the background, though, and I can't make common
commands run in the background at all. Try ls & ...
Of course, that function takes away your prompt, so you need to
include one in the function...
Hang around. There are probably better ideas coming along...
