When I run this script in a bash shell script, I get:
oldest generation: 169
oldest generation created: 2024-11-04
minutes before now: 1193
hours before now: 19
days before now: 0
current generation: 169
current generation created: 2024-11-04
minutes before now: 1193
hours before now: 19
days before now: 0
But when I run it with pkgs.writeShellScriptBin, I get this invalid date error:
oldest generation: 169[0]
oldest generation created: 169[1]
date: invalid date ‘169[1]’
I figure something just needs to be escaped, or something trivial like that, but I could use some help from someone with more script experience than me. Any suggestions on where to begin?
cleanup = pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "cleanup" ''
