Re: [RndTbl] Convert time in seconds to date in bash?

Cool. I had to do this just last week. After wasting half an hour digging through man pages and Google searches, I gave up and wrote a q&d C program. It seems there ought to be a way to do this with "date -d", but I can't find a way to get it to take seconds since epoch as an input. For that matter, I can't figure out how to get it to output the date as such either.

According to Sean A. Walberg:

Been trying to do this one for ages... Best I can come up with uses a perl one liner:

perl -e 'print scalar localtime 1102434671'

Does anyone know of a quick way to convert the Unix time (in seconds since Jan 1, 1970) to a readable date via bash and standard commands?
