By unix timestamp, do you mean milliseconds since the epoch (1/1/1970)?

If so, use the DateTime.getTime() method

I don't know why bob's answer got a thumbs down. DateTime.getTime() provides the unix number down to the millisecond.

I guess it's because the actual method to use is
DateTime.now().getTime()
