this works date -d '2009-11-06 17:07:54 32 hours' this works offset="'2009-11-06 17:07:54 32 hours'"
This does not work date -d $offset this seems to work but doesnt echo $offset |date -d - Im trying to automate running the turn host on a Dominions 3 game 32 hours after the previous hosting. For now Im trying to just diplay the values on a webpage. So Im picking up the date of the previously generated file hosted=`stat --format=%z Pangaea.trn | cut -d. -f1 ` and trying to display a time 32 hours after that. Then Id like to be able to display a counter on the webpage if I can figure out how to show "which will be X from now" Ive given up on Epoch time (my math sucks). I might have to do some basic programming on it but Im really surprised I have to go that far.
