Thanks to all who replied real fast :
Madanagopalan.SUBRAMANIAN@gemplus.com
Dennis_Martens@health.qld.gov.au
vince.merrell@ssmb.com
bartlett@metro1.com

They all suggested to use the 'time' command in front of the command I wish
to time
In my example I may use :

time nohup ./uploaddq dqsall badall.out 1>>all.log 2>>all.err &

When the command has finished, it will show the "real" time it took and
also the user and system cpu times consumed.

        real 0m0.695s
        user 0m0.010s
        sys 0m0.020s

Thanks,
