You could do something like this: Replace the paths to reflect your environment. tail -f /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log | perl -pe 's/(\d+)/localtime($1)/e' or grep 'something important to look for' somelogfilewithepochtimestamps.log | perl -pe 's/(\d+)/localtime($1)/e' or perl -pe 's/(\d+)/localtime($1)/e' somelogfilewithepochtimestamps.log
