I want ((seconds=(done-started)-(((done-started)/60)*60)+100)) min_sec=$(((done-started)/60))":"${seconds: -2} in one line, instead of two lines. I don't understand your reply. Even if I would add ${min_sec: 2} to each "echo" command (there will be a second output to a log file, it wouldn't be formatted as needed. FOR YOUR EXAMPLE, IIUC IT SHOULD BE? ... ### Killall and Restore session started=$(date +%s) sleep 2 ### Time month=$(date +%B) mon=$(date +%b) d_y_t=$(date '+/%d/%Y %T') done=$(date +%s) #((seconds=(done-started)-(((done-started)/60)*60)+100)) #min_sec=$(((done-started)/60))":"${seconds: -2} min_sec=$(((done-started)/60))":"$(((done-started)-(((done-started)/60)*60)+100)) echo echo "Attended time to restore session: $min_sec" echo -n "Session restored at " ; printf %9.9s $month ; echo $d_y_t echo ... RESULT ... Attended time to restore session: 0:102 Session restored at October/29/2012 21:11:43 ...
