date math

[linuxgnuru]

let’s say I have a text file with just outputs from the date command. Anyone know how to take that and calculate hours?
i.e.

Code:

Mon Dec 5 15:20:15 EAT 2016
Tue Dec 6 01:20:34 EAT 2016

Tue Dec 6 09:44:15 EAT 2016
Tue Dec 6 12:41:34 EAT 2016

so; how many hours wold that be? and better still; how can one calculate that with a script?

Convert the timestamps to unix time (which is just seconds since Jan 1 1970), and then do whatever math you want. You’ll have the results in seconds, which you can convert to hours, parsecs, centons, marklars or whatever.
