This doesn't work for me as the find just shows everything that exists. I also get weird results from the code in that variable: TIMEDIFF=$(( ( $(date --date="$(last -1 | head -n 1 | tr -s " " | cut -d" " -f3-6)" +%s) - $(date +%s) ) / 60 )) date: invalid date ‘134.29.149.192 Wed Jun 27’

Fixed the oneliner, but requires GNU grep: TIMEDIFF=$(( ( $(date --date="$(last -1 $(whoami) | head -n 1 | grep -oP '\w{3} \w{3} \d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}')" +%s) - $(date +%s) ) / 60 )). Alternatively, if you're using bash, the $SECONDS variable might help you out more: TIMEDIFF="-$(( $SECONDS / 60 ))"
