I'm trying to get the elapsed time. The following gives me '1', however I would like it to give me 1.98333333. Where am I missing the boat?
#!/bin/sh TIME1=`date +%s` echo $TIME1 sleep 119 TIME2=`date +%s` echo $TIME2 ELTIME=$[ ($TIME2 - $TIME1)/60 ] echo $ELTIME -- Programs: What software used to be, back when we knew how to write it. 02:30:02 up 7 days, 6:13, 7 users, load average: 1.31, 1.20, 1.03 Linux Registered User #241685 http://counter.li.org
