Convert Unix timestamp into human-readable format on AIX

I need to convert unix timestamp (number of seconds since 1970, e.g. 1381260225 is Tue Oct 8 19:23:45 GMT 2013) into a standard human-readable format.
I could get some answers by googling but those were not a suitable solution for me because I don't use Linux, I use an AIX 6.1 machine with ksh88. AIX does not have GNU utilities.

You say you don't have the GNU utilities, what doeswhich perlreturn on the server? Also, give that relies on your path and we don't know what that is, how aboutls -l /usr/bin/perl.

If you were on Linux, you could simply use:
date -d @1381260225
Or you could use gawk:
echo "1381260225" | gawk 'print strftime("%c",$1)'
Or Python:
python -c "import datetime; print datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1381865497)"
Or Perl:
perl -e 'print(scalar(localtime(1381865497)), "n";'
However none of these solutions are available on a stock AIX installation.
All of these tools (GNU coreutils, GNU awk, Perl, Python) are available as separate packages as part of the AIX toolbox for Linux applications.

date -dis a GNU-ism. The equivalent for OpenBSD would bedate -r 1381260225. And I'm not even sure that is standard, because Solaris doesn't even have an equivalent of-dor-r. Solaris only seems to be able to set or display the current time.

@kurtm You can look up AIX man pages online. None of these methods work on AIX, not even the awk method as awk doesn't havestrftime(it's a GNU extension).

You can probably fall back to Perl:
perl -MPOSIX=strftime -e 'print strftime("%Y-%m-%d %T", localtime($ARGV[0])), "n"' 1381260225

AIX has ksh93, so:
local time (here mainland Britain):
$ ksh93 -c 'printf "%(%Y-%m-%d %T %z)Tn" "#$1"' ksh93 1381260225
2013-10-08 20:23:45 +0100GMT/UTC
$ TZ=GMT0 ksh93 -c 'printf "%(%Y-%m-%d %T %Z)Tn" "#$1"' ksh93 1381260225

You meantecho "$(date +"%y%m%d%H%M%S")"but it only outputs the Unix timestamp of the current date. The question was about converting a specified Unix timestamp to a human-readable date string.

Sep 19 at 9:11
You're using backticks so the double quotes don't nest. Consider using the more modern style$( ... )instead.

You can probably fall back to Perl:
perl -MPOSIX=strftime -e 'print strftime("%Y-%m-%d %T", localtime($ARGV[0])), "n"' 1381260225

+1 but if I'm not mistaken, AIX does not have Perl by default and I don't know whetherPOSIX::strftimewill be installed even if it does. Can these be installed without root access on AIX?

@terdon is python default install in AIX ?

@RahulPatil I doubt it (but don't really know). However, both perl and python can be downloaded from here.

@RahulPatil If something doesn't have perl by default, it's not likely to have python by default.

@RahulPatil&tredon: The machine I use does not have either Perl or Python at the same time I do not have admin access to the same.

You meantecho "$(date +"%y%m%d%H%M%S")"but it only outputs the Unix timestamp of the current date. The question was about converting a specified Unix timestamp to a human-readable date string.

You're using backticks so the double quotes don't nest. Consider using the more modern style$( ... )instead.
