On OS X, use
date -r.date -r "$TIMESTAMP"
Alternatively, use
strftime(). It's not available directly from the shell, but you can access it via gawk. The %c specifier displays the timestamp in a locale-dependent manner.echo "$TIMESTAMP" | gawk '{print strftime("%c", $0)}'# echo 0 | gawk '{print strftime("%c", $0)}'
