Convert time with AWK
Hi All,
I need your help with the following:
My input shows the time in this format 1311547776493
I need to convert it (as part of my AWK script) into this format:

Thanks a lot!

Code:
echo $TIMESTAMP | awk '{print strftime("%c", $0)}'

or

Code:
date -d @$TIMESTAMP

where timestamp is the unix time.
