I am not really following you. If you just want to know how long the script runs for in seconds. you can just place this line last in the script

 Help with Code Tags 
 Shell Scripting Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
#!/bin/sh
echo $SECONDS  #this line will echo 0, beciase this is the very start of the script
sleep 10
sleep 1
echo $SECONDS  #this final line echos the total execution time of the script(in seconds)
#!/bin/sh
echo $SECONDS  #this line will echo 0, beciase this is the very start of the script
sleep 10
sleep 1
echo $SECONDS  #this final line echos the total execution time of the script(in seconds)

Hello ,
Thanks for the reply,
I can explain it to you in this way,
the script should execute the specified script given as argument 1 ($1)
for the specified number of seconds argument 2 and must sleep for specified number of seconds given as argument 2 and must continue the cycle until argument 1 is executed.
i mean to say that
run script for $2 seconds
sleep $2
and again continue $1
until script get executed

and this must continue until argument 1 is completed.
Can you plz give me any idea for this script
