OLLS: Epoch to Human Readable

Posted: August 26th, 2009 | Author: Matt | Filed under: One Liners | Tags: , , | No Comments »

Ever had the problem, perhaps with Squid access logs of getting human readable time from the printed Epoch time ? I know I have. And I always forget to save this one….

perl -e ‘print scalar(gmtime(1251265859.690)), “\n”‘

That’ll print the human readable time for 1251265859.690. Very handy….

You’re welcome.


OLLS: DNS + Mac OS X

Having a problem with cached DNS queries on your Mac ?

Fire up a terminal window and run the following command:

dscacheutil -flushcache

This will flush your DNS cache and you should be “A for Away” as they say back in the old country…

Have a grand everning :)
