Where is this command from? It's not in posix or lsb, nor is it in
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/dir_section_1.html and it's not installed on my
debian system either... You reference https://linux.die.net/man/1/ts which says
"Joey Hess", and googling for "joey hess ts" brings up:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5314326

Which says it's in something called "moreutils"... Which _is_ one of the 74,850
packages currently in Debian's repository. (aptitude search . | wc -l)

Let's see what it says:

 So far, it includes the following utilities:
 * chronic: runs a command quietly unless it fails
 * combine: combine the lines in two files using boolean operations
 * errno: look up errno names and descriptions
 * ifdata: get network interface info without parsing ifconfig output
 * ifne: run a program if the standard input is not empty
 * isutf8: check if a file or standard input is utf-8
 * lckdo: execute a program with a lock held
 * mispipe: pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the first
 * parallel: run multiple jobs at once
 * pee: tee standard input to pipes
 * sponge: soak up standard input and write to a file
 * ts: timestamp standard input
 * vidir: edit a directory in your text editor
 * vipe: insert a text editor into a pipe
 * zrun: automatically uncompress arguments to command

Is this a command you actually needed for something?
