Hey guys,

Is there an autorep option to find out the current runtime of a job..
Or do you have to work it out using machine time and start time?

What I'm trying to do is create a script that will email out the autosys job details. I was hoping there would be an autorep command that would return the jobs runtime.. Can't find anything on the cheatsheet or on the net about this..

Is there any other way around this? Am experimenting with the date function and trying to work out the run time that way but its not working out too well.. This is what I've tested with so far..

#! /bin/ksh -x
#
start=`date +%H%M`
#
sleep 120
#
end=`date +%H%M`
#
result=(($end - $start))
#
echo $result

But its coming back with:
date.ksh[9]: syntax error at line 9 : `(' unexpected



Thanks,
Jaz
