I wonder if anyone has a clever script which will calculate the difference between 2 dates ?
ie. Date 1 : Mon 26 10:11:22
Date 2 ; Tue 27 11:23:01
How do I find the total number of minutes between these two ?

Can the date output format be changed or is this set?

date %d
will give you the 'days' which can subtract without worry of months and days in month
something like:(im not at a aix box to test syntax)
echo $(($(date d%)-$DATE1*1440)) #DATE1-then from now
