Steve,
The "-s" option subtracts. To add, just use without "-s".
Usage: datetime [option] input_time [[hours[:minutes]] [output_format]]
Options:
-s Subtract the hours and minutes
-h Display this help message
input_time is a date/time in the form YYMMDD/HHNN.
hours:minutes is optional and defines the amount of time
to add or subtract from the input time.
output_format is an optional string defining the format
of the output date/time string. The valid
formats are defined in the Unix man page for
the 'date' command.
(The default format is "%y%m%d/%H%M")
If the input time is not correct, this message is displayed and the
program exits with a non-zero status value. If the program runs to
completion, the status value is set to zero.
