I got it to work!
Thanks for the help everything!
the "sh -x" REALLY HELPS, it's like a debug almost? run one line at a time and shows me the output and everything. Very neat to know.
I realized that the STIME and CURRENT_TIME were both saved as strings, so they cant be compute... when they do, the output was null, so it never worked.
I changed them to int with typeset -i and it worked. Woo!
Probably not very good coding... but it works... I'll figure out a different approach later.
