I need something simple like date, but in seconds since 1970 instead of the current date, hours, minutes, and seconds.
date doesn't seem to offer that option. Is there an easy way?
662
long epoch = System.currentTimeMillis()/1000; Returns epoch in seconds.
how can I get the current standard epoch time (seconds from 1970) in a shell script? I know I could do this with a bit of perl of even c++ but i want to do it in Bourne shell..... date +%s should give you that. date +%s should give you that.
time() returns the time as the number of seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC). If t is non-NULL, the return value is also stored in the memory pointed to by t.
This should work:
date +%s If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
