Hi List, Does anyone know of an easy way to do date/time arithmetic in a shell script? Specifically, what I need to do is get the current date and time and then adjust it for an offset which can be either positive (add nn minutes to the current date/time) or negative (subtract nn minutes from the current date/time). Any info would be greatly appreciated.
