Many, many thanks to all those who replied with constructive solutions. Denes, Daniel Dan Lorenzini Alan :) JULIAN, JOHN C Dan.L Suggested gdate along with the syntax - this was exactly what I was looking for .. >> You can use 'gdate' (GNU date) to do this. It has a -d option to specify the date and time (instead of the current) and +%s to output seconds (instead of month/day strings, etc.). So in your case: % gdate -d 22:59:01 +%s 1095908341 % gdate -d 23:09:01 +%s 1095908941 % bc (1095908941-1095908341)/60 10.00000000000000000000 << No thanks to people who told me the subject was off topic. As an fairly regular contributor to the list I felt this time the request was justified.
