How to change hosting account setup date?

[meeven]

I remember reading a thread that explained how to change a hosting account's set up date through shell. I tried searching but couldn't locate it.

Would anyone be so kind as to pull up that thread for me or explain how to do it? I have a hosting account whose set up date needs to be changed.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch.

However, in the user's file at /var/cpanel/users/accountname, the startup date is shown as an Unix time stamp. Is there any way to figure out what it corresponds to in normal terms?

Sure, use a Unix timestamp converter.
