Yeah that would work if I want to use the database but I try to write things
in such a way that I can use them in other places and share them with other
non-DBA types, thus the reason I am not using Perl or GNU date. Oracle-L
has some very good *nix scripters so that is why I posted it here, I get
faster better responses then many of the *nix lists. Thanks for suggestion.

Just idea, how about:
SQL select 24*60*(sysdate - to_date('00-00-00-01-01-2000',
'SS-MI-HH24-DD-MM-') ) from dual;
24*60*(SYSDATE-TO_DATE('00-00-00-01-01-2000','SS-MI-HH24-DD-MM-'))

You can spool this result to a file and then use cat | awk to read the
number back to your script.
