how to create a unix timestamp in linux
January 28, 2019
Linux was created to be much like UNIX, so it only makes sense that you should be able to create a UNIX timestamp on Linux.
From the command line you can do this for whatever your purpose is.
Creating a UNIX timestamp from the command line is easy and all you have to do is run the following command from a command prompt:
date +%s
That's all you need to do. Running that command will show you the current UNIX timestamp.
