string to time elapsed?

[sethadam1]

I'm trying to write a script to measure a metric:

I have a timestamp, but it's not a date. It's simply the number of seconds that have elapsed. I want to convert it into English, something like:

441 minutes

or

41 hours

or whatever. Anyone know of a script that can do this? Right now I'm doing a lot of calculation and using a function to figure it out manually. I can't find a good combo of time functions to make this happen automatically.

Thanks,
