Question

I have the following logic in my bash script:

if (( ( local_time > 1430  && local_time < 2230 ) || ( local_ti         


        

Answer 1

Following the advice from this blog, this works:

#!/bin/bash
local_time=`date +%H%M`
local_time="$(( 10#$local_time ))"

if (( ( local_time > 1430  && local_time < 2230 ) || ( local_time > 0300 && local_time < 0430 ) )); then
    echo "it is time!"
