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

[Pulyankote, Gopinath]

Thanks. But how do I get this conversion done within this command definition
in checkcommands.cfg ?
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 $HOSTSTATE$" $CONTACTPAGER$
}

under FreeBSD (at least) date -r <unixtimeseconds> does the same.
