This will convert a second into a more feasible number split up into parts of hrs/min/sec (or if you want also days and weeks and years)

Provided 5 configurations of this converter for your use:

* hms (hour minute second)
* dhms (day hour minute second)
* wdhms (week day hour minute second)
* ywdhms (year week day hour minute second)
* ydhms (year day hour minute second)

Note that the value on the left most can be anything from 0 to infinity (and in the negative range), but the numbers to the right will be rotated/moded accordingly (seconds will be rotated every 60, minutes every 60, hours every 24, weeks every 7, or days every 365 if using the last config there)

Each function provided below will be demonstrated via test variables
Notice there are many correct ways to output the results.

Here is the original method (from the above link):

# using this elegant provided method:
convertsecs() {
 ((h=${1}/3600))
 ((m=(${1}%3600)/60))
 ((s=${1}%60))
 printf "%02d:%02d:%02d\n" $h $m $s
}
TIME1="36"
TIME2="1036"
TIME3="91925"
echo $(convertsecs $TIME1)
echo $(convertsecs $TIME2)
echo $(convertsecs $TIME3)

Here are my methods:

hour:min:sec

# convert seconds to hour:min:sec
convertsecs2hms() {
 ((h=${1}/3600))
 ((m=(${1}%3600)/60))
 ((s=${1}%60))
 printf "%02d:%02d:%02d\n" $h $m $s
 # PRETTY OUTPUT: uncomment below printf and comment out above printf if you want prettier output
 # printf "%02dh %02dm %02ds\n" $h $m $s
}
# setting test variables: testing some constant variables & evaluated variables
TIME1="36"
TIME2="1036"

AWK VERSION OF THE SAME SCRIPTS

#### AWK VERSION OF THE SAME TRICK ###

# there is definitely a better way to do this with a single awk command per function, but i like the way this looks better although it probably costs alot more resources then if say 1 awk was per function.

# TIP (can completely ignore this if you want) - This will go where you see "TIP CAN GO HERE"
# Since awk benefits from having decimals in its numbers, you can get the decimal part like so:
# decimalpart=`echo ${1} | awk '{x=$1; print x-int(x);}'`
# secwithdecimal=`echo ${s} ${decimalpart}| awk '{print ($1+$2);}'`
# now use $secwithdecimal instead of $s in the printf, and change the last %02d (on the very right to something different that shows 2 places to the left of the period for the integer value of the second, and the full decimal to the right of the period.)
