Current time in milliseconds
 

how to get currenttime in milliseconds in linux command

Is this homework?

Look at the manpage for the "date" command (Just enter "man date" in a terminal. You'll see options which give the time in nano-seconds. A bit of arithmetic will get you to milliseconds.

Hello,

As our colleague pixellany has stated, there is no direct option for date to be displayed in milli-seconds. I too had a similar scenario sometime ago but was only able to get the nano-seconds option.
