Sub-Sections

  1. Converts passed date-time string to UNIX epoch time
bmtTimeFunc epochconvert "2022-04-27 19:42:01 "
  1. Print current unix epoch time.
bmtTimeFunc epochnow
  1. Spinner Animation for non-verbose process/commands that take long time
	# call spinner section put run in background and save PID
	bmtTimeFunc  spin &
	pid=$!
	disown
	
	# 'do stuff'
	echo "START"
	find ~ -name mint 2>/dev/null 
	echo "END"
	
	# Stop spin function with PID
	kill $pid 
	sleep 2

704-707) Stop watch

Stop watch timer that returns value in seconds between the stop and start with a scale of 6. Mircoseconds 1.000000. startwatch creates a global variable called _BMT_START_WATCH and uses bc An arbitrary precision calculator language.

bmtTimeFunc startWatch
sleep 2.8
bmtTimeFunc stopWatch
# returns  ~ 2.813207

Parameter 1, time in seconds to increment bar

Displays a progress bar the increment is passed by user The progress displays a percentage and a count of number of times percentage completed.

	echo " "
	echo "Test 708 "
	bmtTimeFunc  progressbar 1 &
	pid=$!
	disown
	echo "START"
	sleep 25 # do stuff 25 seconds for one progress bar complete pass
	echo " "
	echo "END"
	# Stop spin function with PID
	kill $pid
	sleep 2
	echo " "
  1. Convert Epoch time to date format
bmtTimeFunc dateformat "1651084921" "%FT%T%z"
# prints ~ 2022-04-27T19:42:01+0100
  1. Spinner Animation, number two for long non-verbose commands
	# call spinner section put run in background and save PID
	bmtTimeFunc  spintwo &
	pid=$!
	disown
	
	# 'do stuff'
	find ~ -name mint 2>/dev/null 
	
	# Stop spintwo function with PID
	kill $pid 
	sleep 2
