Bash convert epoch to date, showing wrong time
This particular timestamp is in milliseconds since the epoch, not the standard seconds since the epoch. Divide by 1000:
$ date -d @1361234760.790
Mon Feb 18 17:46:00 MST 2013
For Mac OS X, it's date -r <timestamp_in_seconds_with_no_fractions>
$ date -r 1553024528
Tue Mar 19 12:42:08 PDT 2019
or
$ date -r `expr 1553024527882 / 1000`
Tue Mar 19 12:42:07 PDT 2019
or
$ date -r $((1553024527882/1000))
Tue Mar 19 12:42:07 PDT 2019
You can use bash arithmetic expansion to perform the division:
date -d @$((value/1000))
Note that "value
" is a bash variable with the $
being optional; i.e., $value
or value
can be used.
