bash script to convert date seconds back to date format..

[Robert F. Chapman]

Depending on the version of date you have installed, you can use the
following syntax.

> date --date=@1187249220

Thu Aug 16 00:27:00 PDT 2007

Im not sure when the feature was added, but I remember seeing it used
this way quite some time ago.
