convert timezone into human output
Hi

I have a command which returns a timezone, Ej:

root@bsades2: /usr/local/bin # lsuser -a time_last_login israel
israel time_last_login=1279032223

Question: I want to parse this timezone '1279032223' into a 'martes, 13 de julio de 2010 16:43:43' from the ksh shell. Is itt possible?

thanks in advance
Israel.

Yes. Those are epoch seconds

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

getdate()
{
perl -e '
    use POSIX qw(strftime);
    $mydate = strftime "%c", localtime($ARGV[0]); 
    print $mydate; ' $1
}   

dt=$( getdate 12345678)
echo $dt

The %c format specifier may need to change to match what you want in your own locale. See the date man page for an explanation of all of the date format specifiers.

If you are using ksh93
Code:
printf "%(%A, %d de %B de %Y %H:%M:%S)T" '#'1279032223

outputs (TZ=CEST, LANG=es_ES.utf8)
Code:
martes, 13 de julio de 2010 16:43:43
