title: Incrementing current date by 5 minutes in bash
body: <p>In my script I'm storing the current in date in a variable, however I would like the variable to store the date 5 minutes ahead. </p>
  
  <pre><code>29/10/2014-10:47:06 to 29/10/2014-10:52:06
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a quick and easy way to do this in Bash? Looking for a solution that would also work correctly if the time was 10:59:00 for example (recognising to enter the next hour).</p>
  
  <p>I've found some Perl solutions but nothing for Bash.</p>
