Here an example:

Code:
# cat time.sh
TIME()
{
   integer seconds
   integer h1 m1 s1 time1
   integer h2 m2 s2 time2

   echo "$1" | IFS=':' read h1 m1 s1
   echo "$2" | IFS=':' read h2 m2 s2
   (( time1 = h1*3600  + m1*60 +s1 ))
   (( time2 = h2*3600  + m2*60 +s2 ))

   (( seconds = time1 - time2 ))
   (( seconds < 0 )) && (( seconds = -seconds ))

   (( h1 = seconds / 3600 ))
   (( m1 = seconds / 60 % 60 ))
   (( s1 = seconds % 60 ))
   printf "%02d:%02d:%02d\n" $h1 $m1 $s1
}

# . time.sh; TIME 01:17:50 02:47:50
01:30:00

Cheers Smilie

NAME
difftime - calculate time difference SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h> double difftime(time_t time1, time_t time0); DESCRIPTION
The difftime() function returns the number of seconds elapsed between time time1 and time time0, represented as a double. Each of the times is specified in calendar time, which means its value is a measurement (in seconds) relative to the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC). CONFORMING TO
SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89, C99. NOTES
On a POSIX system, time_t is an arithmetic type, and one could just define #define difftime(t1,t0) (double)(t1 - t0) when the possible overflow in the subtraction is not a concern. On other systems, the data type time_t might use some other encoding where subtraction doesn't work directly. SEE ALSO
