 =====checking time=====
 By using "date  +%r" in the command line you can get the current time which you can use later.
+date +%r will give you the time in this format: HH:MM:SS AM/PM
+date +%s will give you the time in seconds since the Unix epoch. If you want to use date +%s to get the current minutes, you can divide the output of date +%s by 60; if you want to use date +%s to get the current seconds, you can use the modulus operation (%60).
