This is the body of the code i use (been updated with the '((' that you recomended)
Code:
ALARMHOUR=`echo "$ALARMTIME" | cut -d : -f 1 `
ALARMMINUTE=`echo "$ALARMTIME" | cut -d : -f 2 `
ALARMSECOND=`echo "$ALARMTIME" | cut -d : -f 3 `
for (( ;; )) do
clear
TIME=`date "+%H:%M:%S"`
read HOUR MINUTE SECOND <<<$(date +"%H %M %S")
SECONDDIFF=$((SECOND-ALARMSECOND))
SECONDDIFF=$((60-SECONDDIFF))
if [ $SECONDDIFF -lt 10 ]; then
SECONDDIFF="0$SECONDDIFF"
fi
MINUTEDIFF=$(($MINUTE-$ALARMMINUTE))
MINUTEDIFF=$((59-MINUTEDIFF))
if [ $MINUTEDIFF -lt 10 ]; then
MINUTEDIFF ="0$MINUTEDIFF"
fi
HOURDIFF=$(($HOUR-$ALARMHOUR))
if [ $HOURDIFF -lt 0 ]; then
HOURDIFF=$((HOURDIFF-HOURDIFF-HOURDIFF))
elif [ $HOURDIFF -gt 0 ]; then
HOURDIFF=$((24-HOURDIFF))
fi
if [ $HOURDIFF -lt 10 ]; then
HOURDIFF="0$HOURDIFF"
fi
echo "Current time : $HOUR:$MINUTE:$SECOND"
echo ""
echo " Alarm time : $ALARMTIME"
echo ""
echo " Difference : $HOURDIFF:$MINUTEDIFF:$SECONDDIFF"
...
sleep 1
done
It cycles through that, updating every second, but when SECONDS reaches 08, it exits with the following error :
/bin/TermTime (unstable): line 33: 08: value too great for base (error token is "08")
I have tried setting the SECONDS variable in the form :
if [ $SECONDS = 8 ]; then
SECONDS=8
fi
Didn't expect it to work and it didn't, but i thought i would try it
The strange thing is that i don't think it does this with MINUTES or HOURS, just SECONDS...
Thank you, just waiting for it to come round and...It works. Thank you so much, this has been bugging me since last night sometime...
My final question is : How can i stop it from saying "Current time : 19:44:1"
and make it say "Current time : 19:44:01" without screwing it all up?
Never mind, Thank you so much Corona, you've been a great help
