How to convert Unix Timestamp to readable timestamp in AIX 5.3

I have a file with the below contents.

   MAX_FRAG_SIZE 1
   ACTIVE 3
   EFFECTIVE_TIME 1279057213
   COLLECT_TIR_INFO 1
   EXTENDED_SECURITY_INFO 3
   EFFECTIVE_TIME 1279057324
   ENABLE_PFI 0
   OFFHOST_BACKUP 0

The second field of EFFECTIVE_TIME is the timestamp. How can we convert the second field of EFFECTIVE_TIME into human readable format and replace it in the file itself. Also the strftime() function doesn't works in AIX 5.3.

Thanks Rahul

Most certainly, 'strftime' works in AIX5.3. So does strtol, localtime_r, sprintf and other useful functions.

Also, you can install GNU!date, it can convert from timestamp to human readable form:

$ gdate --date='@1279057324'
