Your answer does not help at all! What do you mean by "not working".

Can you be more specific? Post what all issues that you are facing.

You need to calculate the difference of the two numbers, not simply print them.

i.e.

Code:
DIFF=$((END - START))

exactly as shown in the post linked to by joeyg.

Which OS are you using?

t_1.sh
Code:
START=$(date +%s)


 END=$(date +%s)


DIFF=$(echo "$END - $START" )
echo $DIFF

i execute the t_1.sh
and getting the output as %s - %s

If you're using Solaris, %s does not work. You can try Perl:

Code:
START=$(perl -e 'print time();')
