Shell Programming and Scripting

Here is the original code I was trying to get to work:
#!/bin/ksh

BDAY=$(date +%e)
((BTIME=($(date +%H)*3600)+($(date +%M)*60)+$(date +%S)))

time sleep 20

EDAY=$(date +%e)
# assumes run time not over 48 hours.
[[ $BDAY == $EDAY ]] && DAY=0 || DAY=86400
((ETIME=$DAY+($(date +%H)*3600)+($(date +%M)*60)+$(date +%S)))

((TOTAL=$ETIME - $BTIME))
print "Run Time: \c"
((HOURS=TOTAL / 3600))
((TOTAL=TOTAL - (HOURS*3600)))
print "$HOURS hours, $((TOTAL / 60)) minutes, $((TOTAL % 60)) seconds."


The above code has given me a variety of error messages that I have fixed and the latest is:

real 0m20.02s
user 0m0.00s
sys 0m0.00s
./fun4[13]: syntax error at line 16 : `==' unexpected

Maybe you can see what is wrong - Thanks

the 'time sleep 20' line doesn't make sense to use. it's only timing the sleep command which you know will execute for only 20 seconds. er... apparently 20.02 seconds.

maybe you can wrap a script around it which uses the 'time' command against the script you wanna run. just a thought. *shrugs*

The time sleep 20 is used for nothing more than testing. the real script is preforming some software and database upgrades. The only reason why i used the time command is so it would actually display the 20 sec to the screen. just a habbit of mine
