FreeBSD's date can turn seconds since the epoch back into a human-readable format:
$ date -j -f "%s" 1041286200 Mon Dec 30 17:10:00 EST 2002 -j means "do not set the date but still accept a new date and print the results" -f sets the format used by the input parser ala strptime(3) which is the converse of strftime(3) the way scanf(3) is the converse of printf(3). Does GNU have strptime(3)? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
