Adding # minutes to current time...
Hi all,
Looking for a way to add lets say 10 minutes to the current time output should look like 7:15 AM or 7:15 PM. I know that gdate could do this for me but unfortunately its not available on the system I'm working on. So if any one know any way I can accomplish this using the date command it would be great. Thanks, --GT

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
add_min()
{
perl -e '
$tm = $ARGV[0];
$tm *= 60;
($sec,$min,$hour,$day,$mon,$yr,$wday,$yday,$dntcare)=localtime(time + $tm);
printf("%2d:%2d:%2d\n", $hour, $min, $sec);
' $1
}
add_min 10

I really like this one liner, perl -e 'print scalar localtime time + 600' however the format of the output needs to look like 1:39 PM.... can this be done with perl?
P.S. Thanks for the quick responses... Last edited by gptavares; 06-21-2007 at 11:07 AM.
