Hi All, which heroe can tell me why the following does not work :
#!/bin/sh cat <<EOF >newscriptfile.sh #!/bin/sh NOWS=$(date +%S) NOWS=${NOWS#0} NOWM=$(date +%M) NOWM=${NOWM#0} NOWH=$(date +%H) NOWH=${NOWH#0} FROMNOW=$1 MINUTE=$((${NOWM} + ${FROMNOW})) MINUTE=$((${MINUTE} % 60)) HOUR=$((${NOWM} + ${FROMNOW})) HOUR=$((${HOUR} / 60)) HOUR=$((${NOWH} + ${HOUR})) HOUR=$((${HOUR} % 24)) echo $HOUR" "$MINUTE EOF It's driving me nuts!!!
