I throw the date into a file in a log directory:
date > /log/bustart for example at the start of the backup routine
date > /log/bustop for the end
and name the stuff that happens sequentially in such a way that it lists the way it runs.

Hi,
I'm writing a script and have become stuck trying to define a variable (COMP) by adding an elapsed time (ELAPSE e.g 00:55) to a start time (START e.g 23:50).
Can anybody give me a solution as to how I can get a completion time in hh:mm from the variables above?
thanks

lastlogx
UTMPX(5) BSD File Formats Manual UTMPX(5)
NAME
utmpx, wtmpx, lastlogx -- user accounting database
SYNOPSIS
#include <utmpx.h>
DESCRIPTION
In contrast to utmp and wtmp, the extended databases in utmpx and wtmpx reserve more space for logging hostnames, and also information on a
process' ID, termination signal and exit status.
The <utmpx.h> header defines the structures and functions for logging user. Currently logged in users are tracked in /var/run/utmpx, a list
of all logins and logouts, as well as all shutdowns, reboots and date changes, is kept in /var/log/wtmpx, and the last login of each user is
noted in /var/log/lastlogx.
The interface to the utmpx file is described in getutxent(3).
The wtmpx file can grow rapidly on busy systems, and is normally rotated with newsyslog(8).
In the event of a date change, a shutdown, or a reboot, the following items are logged in the wtmpx file:
date The system time has been manually or automatically updated by date(1). The command name date is recorded in the field
ut_name. In the field ut_line, the character '|' indicates the time prior to the change, and the character '{' indicates
the new time.
reboot
shutdown A system reboot or shutdown has been initiated. The character '~' is placed in the field ut_line, and reboot or shutdown
in the field ut_name (see shutdown(8) and reboot(8)), using logwtmpx(3).
FILES
/var/run/utmpx The utmpx file.
/var/log/wtmpx The wtmpx file.
/var/log/lastlogx The lastlogx file.
SEE ALSO
