For all you scripting gurus out there. Can you help me out?

I'm trying to convert a value to an output to the user of minutes:seconds.

For example: if $A=100 (for seconds) Then echo "This is 1:40 minutes"

How would I do this?

I'm not sure if there is some utility for converting directly to a time (I know there is in C, but I don't know about the shell) But otherwise, you could do something like echo This is $((A/60)):$((A%60)) minutes Anders -- Madness takes its toll -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
