The responses so far have been correct, of course, answering your question
directly. I just wanted to point out, though, that if you have ast-open (that
is, not just ksh), the ls(1) therein can do this for you directly with no need
for a printf conversion. Look to the -z and -Z options.
: rtfm; ls -l -z long-iso /etc/motd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 64 2012-06-27 14:46:24 /etc/motd
: rtfm; ls -l -z full-iso /etc/motd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 64 2012-06-27 14:46:24.000000000 -0400 /etc/motd
: rtfm; ls -Z '%(mtime)s' /etc/motd
Jun 27 14:46
: rtfm; ls -Z '%(mtime:time=%K)s' /etc/motd
2012-06-27+14:46:24
: rtfm; ls -Z '%(mtime:time=%_K)s' /etc/motd
2012-06-27 14:46:24
: rtfm; ls -Z '%(mtime:time=%EK)s' /etc/motd
2012-06-27+14:46:24.000000000-0400
: rtfm; ls -Z '%(mtime:time=%_EK)s' /etc/motd

Cheers,
