- nitramm 9y agoTo see the countdown, you can use: while true; do echo $((1500000000 - `date +"%s"`)); sleep 1; done
- isostatic 9y agoSleep 1 means that you could miss it, as the loop will take >1 second to run (the fork isn't instantaneous)

- denysonique 9y agoOn UNIX likes systems*. Pro-tip: `watch -n 1 date +%s` will give you a live view of the timestamp
- sbierwagen 9y agoIf you have an X server installed, you can also get a windowed unix time clock: xclock -utime -update 1
- schoen 9y agoI tried this and noticed that you forgot -digital, which is apparently necessarily for -utime to have any effect.
- butisaidsudo 9y agoOohhh, didn't know about watch, thanks! If you want it to count down instead: $ watch -n1 'echo $((1500000000 - $(date +%s)))'
- imwally 9y agowhile true; do date +%s; sleep 1; done
