I don't have access to a Linux system, but the following should be a reasonable translation of the code Scrutinizer suggested for OS X into something Linux system date utilities should be able to handle:
Code:
date -u -d "$(date -u "+%a %b %e 00:00:00 %Z %Y")" +%s000

You could try:

Code:
$ date -u -d "$(date -d 00:00)" +%s000
1450310400000

or even
Code:
$ date -u -d "$(date -d 0)" +%s000
1450310400000

There are multiple errors in the first line
Code:
1/ j is not a valid option
2/ The second $ date ...) is being treated as an illegal option

So, please tell us what you are trying to do. Not how you expect/want to do it. That has problems.

Moderator's Comments:
Mod Comment There seem to be two threads discussing the same topic. And, neither one of them gives a clear description of the problem. One says that there is a problem on a Mac (which we would assume is running OS X) and the other says there is a problem on Linux. But the pathname being created appears to be a Windows (not OS X and not Linux) pathname.

I have merged these two discussions into the original thread and hope that the original poster will clarify what the real requirements are by specifying what operating system and shell are being used (as has been asked in both of the original threads), and showing us the results of the attempts that have been made instead of just showing us code and saying "it doesn't work".
