Linux timestamp

From FoppaWiki

Sometimes logfiles, and other stuff, is stamped with linux time stamp Linux time - and its not very human readable

| awk '{print strftime("%d-%m-%y %H:%M:%S",substr($1,1,10)) ": "$0}'

ie:

# cat /var/log/blahbluh | awk '{print strftime("%d-%m-%y %H:%M:%S",substr($1,1,10)) ": "$0}'

The following is the same thing achived in perl:

| perl -pe 's/(\d+)/localtime($1)/e' log

Date can obviously also do the trick

date -d @<pastelinuxtimestamp>
