Adding columns of time
Hello all,

I'm in the process of writing a script, and I need to be able to add columns of time in the following format (time elapsed Net Backup logs):

000:01:03
000:00:58
000:00:49

Does anyone have a way of converting and/or adding timestamps such as these accurately?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

convert to seconds, then revert the sum of seconds to time
Code:
awk -F ':'  '{sum+=($1*3600) + ($2*60) + $3 } 
                END{ a=int(sum/3600); sum-=(a*3600); b=int(sum/60); c=sum-(b*60)
                        printf("%03d:%02d:%02d\n", a, b, c) }

See how that works out.

also try:
Code:
awk -F: '
{ s+=$3; m+=$2; h+=$1; }
END {
  if (int(s/60)>0) {m+=int(s/60); s=s%60;}
  if (int(m/60)>0) {h+=int(m/60); m=m%60;}
  printf "%03d:%02d:%02d\n", h, m, s;
}
' file1

Jim,
The solution you provided is not working for me.

rdrtx1, what you provided, I'm not sure if it is accurate or not. I pipe a command (rather than read a file) through what you provided. I am adding the numbers below, and get the following:

Four hours, fifty seven minutes, twenty seven seconds.

The backups for this particular host shows to have started at 04:00:00 and ended at 07:00:35.

004:57:27

Any thoughts? The elapsed times below is what was added...

HHH:MM:SS

Code:

Here is the code:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

CLIENT3="server12"
TOTAL_CLIENT_ELAPSED=$(egrep -v "JobID" ${RPT_CSV} | egrep ${CLIENT3} | awk -F "," '{print $16}'| sort -n | awk -F: '
{ s+=$3; m+=$2; h+=$1; }
END {
  if (int(s/60)>0) {m+=int(s/60); s=s%60;}
  if (int(m/60)>0) {h+=int(m/60); m=m%60;}
  printf "%03d:%02d:%02d\n", h, m, s;
}')

CLIENT_START_TIME=$(egrep -v "JobID" ${RPT_CSV} | egrep ${CLIENT3} | awk -F "," '{print $13}' | sort -n | head -1)
CLIENT_END_TIME=$(egrep -v "JobID" ${RPT_CSV} | egrep ${CLIENT3} | awk -F "," '{print $15}' | sort -n | tail -1)

echo "Client StartTime EndTime TotalElapsed" | tr -s " " ","
echo "${CLIENT3} ${CLIENT_START_TIME} ${CLIENT_END_TIME} ${TOTAL_CLIENT_ELAPSED}" | tr -s " " ","

Output:
Code:
Client,StartTime,EndTime,TotalElapsed
server12,04:00:00,07:00:35,004:57:27
