Question Displaying time left to end of day, week, month?

Hello,

basically I'm looking after a way of showing how many time is left to the end the day, week, month...

I can't seem to figure this out, so could one of you skilled guys tell me how should this be approached?

Examples:

Code:
Time left:

Day: 12h 12m 11s
Week: 4d 12h 12m 11s
Month: 8d 12h 12m 11s

or

Day: 11s
etc....

Thanks for all the help in advance, greetings!

EDIT:

Has to be BASH/SH, as I want to implement this function to one of my scripts where I can extract either time left for day or week or month etc.

NAME
holidays - prime/nonprime table for the accounting system SYNOPSIS
/etc/acct/holidays DESCRIPTION
The /etc/acct/holidays file describes which hours are considered prime time and which days are holidays. Holidays and weekends are con- sidered non-prime time hours. /etc/acct/holidays is used by the accounting system. All lines beginning with an "*" are comments. The /etc/acct/holidays file consists of two sections. The first non-comment line defines the current year and the start time of prime and non-prime time hours, in the form: current_year prime_start non_prime_start The remaining non-comment lines define the holidays in the form: month/day company_holiday Of these two fields, only the month/day is actually used by the accounting system programs. The /etc/acct/holidays file must be updated each year. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Example of the /etc/acct/holidays file. The following is an example of the /etc/acct/holidays file: * Prime/Nonprime Table for the accounting system * * Curr Prime Non-Prime * Year Start Start * 1991 0830 1800 * * only the first column (month/day) is significant. * * month/day Company Holiday * 1/1 New Years Day 5/30 Memorial Day 7/4 Indep.
