How do you use the sleep function to run the bash script every minute for say 6 hours?
Thanks

Wouldn't it be easier to setup a cron job?
min hour day month weekday command
*/1 10-15 * * * /path/to/your/script
10-16 is an example of a six hour block where it would run. 10 being 10AM and 15 being 3PM

I am planning to display an android calendar in my application. I want to select a date to use in my application. I need to know whether there is an algorithm for a calendar.
I must not use any open source application.
Generating an arbitrary Gregorian calendar pretty much amounts to determining the day of the week of the starting day and, for Februaries, determining whether the year is a leap year.
The best and most famous date algorithm is Conway's Doomsday Rule, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_rule
