Would you say that using date is faster/lighter than awk (as per

I would think so, yes. If you write a script like this...
#!/bin/sh
# unix-time
date -d @$1
...and enter:
$ unix-time 1161911504

Thanks, but that's not what I meant. I have a script that acts as a
filter, and sometimes lines include unix-time dates. So I suppose that
awk it is, since "date" will choke on input other than proper dates.
Cheers.
