Can I substitute seconds with minutes in the date command?


Code:
timediff=$(( $(date +%m) - $(date +%m -d$lastseen)))

That weren't constructive as it would ignore hours, days, months, years. %s is NOT a date's seconds' part, but the total count of seconds from "the epoque".
%m, btw, specifies the month.

when I print the time diff in my if then I want to display in minutes in my echo.

so it would be ideal to have the display in minutes in the echo

Code:
if [[ "$timediff" -eq 0 || "$timediff" -lt 3600 ]]
then 
echo "$timediff"
exit 0

There's an easy conversion from seconds to minutes.

Thanks for the feedback, I am almost there with it... I think I have a solution regarding the serial number.

can i set a default value for the serial number or last seen var if its null?

Code:
serial="FPLTL05YFCM5"
# get last seen value of ipad

lastseen=$(curl -s -X "GET" "https://cn705.awmdm.com/api/mdm/devices/serialnumber/$serial" -H "Authorization: Basic bmFnaW9zOm5ITXBZaVBiNHpGZ201WVk=" -H "aw-tenant-code:  Mg0dJDVw02tyPHhFqU8uS3t0ZzkRqJ8mjDHGplY68WI=" | xmllint --format -|grep LastSeen | awk -F "T|<" '{print $3}' | awk -F: '{printf "%1.0f",($1*60)+$2+($3%60)}')

elif [[ "$1" = '^[a-ZA-Z]*$' ]] || [[ -z "$lastseen" ]];
echo "Serial Number Invaild"
then exit 3;

and if the default value = 1 then I can exit out of the script?
