Real time of a clock for every 60 seconds in unix
hi can any one guide me on how to display real time of a clock in unix for every 60 seconds

This is not a very clear request, but there is a program called xclock that can display a clock. I don't understand the "every 60 seconds" stuff, but xclock should work until you kill it. I have used xclock to display a clock for weeks at a time.

Are your looking for this.
The following command will show the graphical clock

Code:
xclock

The following script will show the digital clock

Code:
tput clear              #clear the screen
tput cup 14             #change the cursor position for columns wise.
while [ true ]          #loop wil execute all times because the condition is always true.
do
echo -e "\r\t\t\t\t\t`date +"%T %P"`\c"   
#\r used to cursor wait the same line. and
#\c is used to suppress the trailing new line.
done
