[SOLVED] How to convert timestamp to hour/minutes/seconds in shell script?

Issue

I am calculating how much time my code is taking in shell script -

date1=$(date +"%s")

# some code here

date2=$(date +"%s")
diff=$(($date2-$date1))
echo "Time Taken - $(($diff / 60)) minutes and $(($diff % 60)) seconds elapsed."

Above script prints out time taken in minutes and seconds. How can I add it for hours as well? Meaning it should print out Time Taken - 0 hours 54 minutes 0 seconds something like this.

Solution

Try this:

echo "Time Taken - $((diff /60/60)) hours and $(($diff % 60)) minutes and $(($diff % 60)) seconds elapsed."
