Example:

sec=502
echo $((sec/60)) hours
echo $((sec%60)) seconds

Best regards...

I think your time is in minutes so Dietmar probably meant:

min=502
echo $((min/60)) hours
echo $((min%60)) minutes

or echo $((min/60)):$((min%60)) for hours:minutes

Also, if you use a temp file you won't have to run the omnidb command so often. I modified your script a little and attached it.
