How would I convert a unix timestamp such as "1232144092" to a readable date such as "1/16/2009 10:14:28 PM" ?

I thought I could use date, but I don't think so now.. Any help would be great!!

echo <unix time> | perl -e 'print localtime(<>) . "\n";'

haha, well I meant any *nix command that could do it, sorry about that.

I suppose its not that I need a *nix command that does it, perl works just as well. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a command :slight_smile:

Thanks reborg!
