Welcome to the forums. Please search the forums before asking questions as many questions have already been answered before. Here is a post that will give you the time in microseconds. You can easily convert that to milliseconds.

Cheers

As I understand, you need a timestamp with millisecond precision.

Works with GNU date.

Code:
sh-2.05b$ cat bhups.ksh
#! /bin/ksh
epoch=$(date +%F-%l-%M-%S-)$(( $(date +%N) / 1000000 ))
echo $epoch
sh-2.05b$ ./bhups.ksh
