Date command output conversion

hi all,

i need to measure time difference between the time a process started, to the time it ended. i am assuming the following are the steps:

1. output 'date' command at start time
2. output 'date' command at end time
3. subtract the two

question is, how do i subtract the two time outputs, when that output looks like: "Wed Oct 20 06:20:22 UTC 2010" as an example.

So basically, I need the result of the subtraction to look something like: 1h 22m 09s.

Appreciate any assistance I can get.
Thanks!
