Something like:
HOURS=`expr $CONNECT_TIME \/ 3600`
CONNECT_TIME=`expr $CONNECT_TIME - \( $HOURS \* 3600 \)`
MINUTES=`expr $CONNECT_TIME \/ 60`
CONNECT_TIME=`expr $CONNECT_TIME = \( $MINUTES \* 60 \)`
SECONDS=$CONNECT_TIME
Erk, ugly.
I looked at the manpage for date, with the intention of doing something
like date -d 00000000.$CONNECT_TIME +%r but it didn't like the date that
way, i guess it needs the seconds between 0 and 59. Also, there was
nothing about converting unix time to normal time. I'm convinced there
must be a tool to do this.
