You can use dc instead but it uses reverse polish notation
Did someone say RPN? That's for me!

you can duplicate the second evaluation with 'd':
echo `date +%s` d 604800% - p | dc

As you can see, the bc command is a bit easier to comprehend.
Not for a Forthhead like me. Graff, are you saying the 'echo' command piles
a bunch of stuff on a stack and 'bc' evaluates it all endfirst?
