That is in seconds. Seconds since Jan 1, 1970.  :)

Creative command-line fu --

notification command {
echo " Some stuff about the host being down or something\n Duration of  
downtime was $$((`/bin/date +%s` - $LASTHOSTUP$)) seconds, starting  
around `/bin/date -d '1970-01-01 UTC $LASTHOSTUP$ sec'`" | mail -s ...

Note there's a rumor in another thread that this macro might get  
updated before the notification is sent. YMMV.
