set -e

## Get a random 0 or 1.
## Will use this to decide to use plus or minus.
ZERO_OR_ONE="$(shuf -i0-1 -n1 --random-source=/dev/random)"

## Create a random number between 0 and 180.
DELAY="$(shuf -i0-180 -n1 --random-source=/dev/random)"

## Create a random number between 0 and 999999999.

NANOSECONDS="$(shuf -i0-999999999 -n1 --random-source=/dev/random)"

## Examples NANOSECONDS:
## 117752805
## 38653957

## Add leading zeros, because `date` expects 9 digits.
NANOSECONDS="$(printf '%0*d\n' 9 "$NANOSECONDS")"

## Using
## printf '%0*d\n' 9 "38653957"
##  38653957
## becomes
## 038653957

## Examples NANOSECONDS:
## 117752805
## 038653957

if [ "$ZERO_OR_ONE" = "0" ]; then

OLD_UNIXTIME="$(date +%s)"

NEW_TIME="$(( $OLD_UNIXTIME $PLUS_OR_MINUS $DELAY ))"

NEW_TIME_NANOSECONDS="$NEW_TIME.$NANOSECONDS"

echo "$NEW_TIME_NANOSECONDS"

## Testing the `date` syntax:
## date --date @1396733199.112834496
## date --date "@$NEW_TIME_NANOSECONDS"
