*SIGH*  indeed.

Have you ever considered READING* the manpage for the relevant tool
_before_ asking the world about the blindingly obvious?

RTFM is abaolutely appropriate here.

*DO*IT*.    see the '-B" primary.

If the required math is beyond you, there are 1440 minutes in a day, andz.
thus, 9 days is 12960 minutes.
