Hi, Those dates are in a format called "unix timestamps", which represent the number of seconds since the unix epoch (Jaunuary 1st, 1970). You can get the current unix timestamp via the date command (date +%s). As far as any command-line utility to convert them,I leave that to Google. However, most programming languages provide functions to convert between timestamp formats.
