Ahh, the bash :-)

let 'toone = toone > 1440 ? toone - 1440 : toone'
should do the job. (At least if I understood your purpose correctly.)
Shorter, but with slightly different meaning:
let 'toone %= 1440'

Yup. It always stays challenging, mostly because of stupid
quoting/nonquoting issues, arcane syntax and the lack of proper error
messages.

If you set up DISPLAY correctly, it should work IMHO.
