well, the best idea i would suggest is -
1. start by some very simple books. google for some newbie guides, L/Unix for dummies, basics of unix/linux, teach yourself unix in 24 hrs, 24 days, months etc..(it should be years, actually.. remember Peter Norvig's "Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years" ?!?!)
2. then slowly move to shell scripting (the same way - newbie guides, etc)
3. while doing this two steps, you will automatically find yourself the books you are looking for.

DATEINTERVAL(3) 							 1							   DATEINTERVAL(3)

The DateInterval class

INTRODUCTION
Represents a date interval. A date interval stores either a fixed amount of time (in years, months, days, hours etc) or a relative time string in the format that DateTime's constructor supports. CLASS SYNOPSIS
DateInterval DateInterval Properties o public integer$y o public integer$m o public integer$d o public integer$h o public integer$i o public integer$s o public integer$invert o public mixed$days Methods o public DateInterval::__construct (string $interval_spec) o publicstatic DateInterval DateInterval::createFromDateString (string $time) o public string DateInterval::format (string $format) PROPERTIES
o $y - Number of years. o $m - Number of months. o $d - Number of days. o $h - Number of hours. o $i - Number of minutes. o $s - Number of seconds. o $invert - Is 1 if the interval represents a negative time period and 0 otherwise. See DateInterval::format. o $days - If the DateInterval object was created by DateTime.diff(3), then this is the total number of days between the start and end dates. Otherwise, $days will be FALSE. Before PHP 5.4.20/5.5.4 instead of FALSE you will receive -99999 upon accessing the prop- erty. PHP Documentation Group DATEINTERVAL(3)
