Dan.L Suggested gdate along with the syntax - this was exactly what I was
looking for ..

You can use 'gdate' (GNU date) to do this. It has a -d option to
specify the date and time (instead of the current) and +%s to output
seconds (instead of month/day strings, etc.). So in your case:

% gdate -d 22:59:01 +%s
1095908341
% gdate -d 23:09:01 +%s
1095908941
% bc
(1095908941-1095908341)/60
10.00000000000000000000

No thanks to people who told me the subject was off topic. As an fairly
regular contributor to the list I felt this time the request was justified.
