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

[Pulyankote, Gopinath]

Its me again,
	I figured this out.  I created a new notify method with the
following:
define command {
command_name                   host-notify-manager
command_line                   /usr/bin/printf "%b" " since
'$LASTSTATECHANGE$' \nTime now is: $DATETIME$" | /bin/mail -s
"$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - Host $HOSTALIAS$ is $HOSTSTATE$" $CONTACTPAGER$
}
 The only problem now is that $LASTSTATECHANGE$ is in UNIX epoch format. How
does one convert this to readable format ?
Thanks

Hi there,
	We have setup escalations to our Managers when a host is down for
more than 2 hours, but every alert that they get has the time stamp when it
was sent out, NOT when the host actually went down. 
	Can someone help me figure out how to get this done? Looking at the
host details, I see a field called Last State Change that has the info I am
looking for. Is there a way to get the "Last State Change" value into the
alerts Nagios sends out. 
Thanks in advance
