Convert a date to its UNIX epoch timestamp
I needed to convert dates to timestamps for time tracking and scheduling things to go live. This helps with that.
Usage
Get timestamp for today at midnight (00:00):
date2timestamp
# Example output: 1478498400
Get timestamp for some other day (2020-08-26):
date2timestamp -y 2020 -m 8 -d 26
# Output: 1598418000
Get timestamp for really specific time (2020-08-26 at 03:55:12):
date2timestamp -y 2020 -m 8 -d 26 -H 3 -M 55 -S 12
# Output: 1598432112
NOTE: Need to convert a timestamp back to a human-readable date? Run:
# Linux / GNU-based
date -d @1267619929
# macOS / BSD-based
date -r <timestamp>
