I have a function, inspired by hms
from here, but I wish to extend it to include handling and displaying Days.
I started editing the script but quickly realized I'm out of my depth with handling the logic of hours running into days and visa versa...
Here's what I have so far:
#!/bin/bash
rendertimer(){
# convert seconds to Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds
# thanks to https://www.shellscript.sh/tips/hms/
local seconds D H M S MM D_TAG H_TAG M_TAG S_TAG
seconds=${1:-0}
S=$((seconds%60))
MM=$((seconds/60)) # total number of minutes
M=$((MM%60))
H=$((MM/60))
D=$((H/24))
# set up "x day(s), x hour(s), x minute(s) and x second(s)" format
[ "$D" -eq "1" ] && D_TAG="day" || D_TAG="days"
[ "$H" -eq "1" ] && H_TAG="hour" || H_TAG="hours"
[ "$M" -eq "1" ] && M_TAG="minute" || M_TAG="minutes"
[ "$S" -eq "1" ] && S_TAG="second" || S_TAG="seconds"
# logic for handling display
[ "$D" -gt "0" ] && printf "%d %s " $D "${D_TAG},"
[ "$H" -gt "0" ] && printf "%d %s " $H "${H_TAG},"
[ "$seconds" -ge "60" ] && printf "%d %s " $M "${M_TAG} and"
printf "%d %s\n" $S "${S_TAG}"
}
duration=${1}
howlong="$(rendertimer $duration)"
echo "That took ${howlong} to run."
349261
seconds: "That took 4 days, 1 hour, 1 minute and 1 second to run."
127932
seconds: "That took 1 day, 11 hours, 32 minutes and 12 seconds to run."
86400
seconds: "That took 1 day to run."
349261
seconds: "That took 4 days, 97 hours, 1 minute and 1 second to run."
127932
seconds: "That took 1 day, 35 hours, 32 minutes and 12 seconds to run."
86400
seconds: "That took 1 day, 24 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds to run."
Can someone help me figure this out?
Thanks to @BeardOverflow and @NikolaySidorov, this works great:
#!/bin/bash
rendertimer(){
# convert seconds to Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds
