Thanks for the clarification. So I am curious as to how to define a specific
start time (as opposed to "now") in non-gui mode from a shell script. I have
managed to leverage the unix date command and calculated the epoch in ms that
way, but it's a bit clunky, relying on the correct date format. Then I passed
the calculated epoch into JMeter as a property defined in my test plan.
Is this the best practice? How do other users do this (or everyone just uses
"now") ?
I was hoping there is something similar to a "--date" command line option
accepting a SimpleDateFormat.
Just want to make sure I didn't miss an obvious or more straight-forward
solution.

No it doesn't apply to the start_time property.
Sorry, I misread your original question.
You can only use milliseconds in the JMX file.
