Hello,
is there any "days since" or "time since" or "time counter" application available?
thanks

Code:
#!/bin/bash
CURRENT=$(date -u '+%F %T.%N %Z')
PAST=$(date -u -d"$1" '+%F %T.%N %Z')
MPHR=60
HPD=24
secondsdiff () {
printf '%s' $(( $(date -u -d"$CURRENT" +%s) - $(date -u -d"$PAST" +%s)))
}
DAYS=$(( $(secondsdiff) / $MPHR / $MPHR / $HPD ))
CURRENT=$(date -d"$CURRENT -$DAYS days" '+%F %T.%N %Z')
HOURS=$(( $(secondsdiff) / $MPHR / $MPHR ))
CURRENT=$(date -d"$CURRENT -$HOURS hours" '+%F %T.%N %Z')
MINUTES=$(( $(secondsdiff) / $MPHR ))
CURRENT=$(date -d"$CURRENT -$MINUTES minutes" '+%F %T.%N %Z')
printf '%s days, %s hours, ' "$DAYS" "$HOURS"
printf '%s minutes, and %s seconds ' "$MINUTES" "$(secondsdiff)"
printf 'since %s!\n\n' "$PAST"

Sounds like it could be a nice simple app for a first project... Hmmm....

For busybox something like this
should do it, where $PAST is in [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]] format (ie 021700002011 for today).
Code:
expr \( $(date +%s) - $(date +%s -d $PAST) \) / 86400

http://maemo.org/packages/view/countdown-home/
and I see it is also available now for N900.
worth checking out.

Thanks for the info.
sometimes I forget how long it has been since I last changed my car battery or my water filter in my ref, etc.
I do use days since app in igoogle. but having it mobile would be excellent
