Convert Unix Timstamp
Sometimes a program/tool prints its time information in unix timestamps. Unix timestamps are the seconds after 01/01/1970. This is usually unreadable by humans.
To convert this timestamp into something readable, copy the following small script into a searchable path and make it executable.
#!/bin/awk -f
{ print strftime("%c", $0); }
</pre
Call the tool with the following command:
echo "your timestamp" | scriptname
You'll get an response according to your local timezone.
Example:
<pre>
$ date +%s
1098181096
$ echo "1098181096" | convertunixtime
