How to convert UNIX epoch to date format for u se in Alerts?

[Mike McClure]

Gopinath,

/usr/bin/printf "%b %s" " since '$LASTSTATECHANGE$' \nTime now is: " "`/usr/bin/perl
-e 'print scalar localtime($DATETIME$)'`" | /bin/mail -s "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert -
Host $HOSTALIAS$ is $HOSTSTATE$" $CONTACTPAGER$

You owe me five bucks if it works. :)

- Mike
