I didn't read the earlier msgs in this thread,
but I've long used my own Bash function (in .bashrc ) :
# translate UNIX date to human-readable
function th { date -d @$1 ; }
eg the last line in emerge.log is "1606047812: *** terminating." ,
so I hilite the number & drop it into the function :
th 1606047812
which gives the timestamp
