If you have GNU date
Code:
$ D1="5/21/2010 9:14:00 AM"
$ D2="5/24/2010 7:23:00 AM"
$ DM=$((($(date -d "$D2" +%s)-$(date -d "$D1" +%s))/60))
$ printf "%s:%02d\n" $((DM/60)) $((DM%60))

Blank lines and lines starting with a pound (#) are ignored. Lines not containing a valid date are also ignored. -r FILE, --reference=FILE Displays the last modification time of FILE. -R, --rfc-2822 Displayc the date and time in RFC 2822 format. Example: Mon, 07 Aug 2006 12:34:56 -0600 -u, --utc, --universal Converts the date to UT (GMT) and prints out the information. Only one of -d, -f, or -r should be included.
