You can use:

$ date -d @1209449397

"man date" for the output format string (which will allow printing in
the format you want)

Or in Perl:

$ perl -e 'print scalar(localtime(1209449397)) . "\n";'

"perldoc -f localtime" for examples on how to use localtime to print the
date in the format you want.

Many other programming languages have their own functions to convert
epoch time to local time.
