How do I convert unix time to a readable format?
[poxley@celeste ~]$ EPOCH=`date +%s`
[poxley@celeste ~]$
[poxley@celeste ~]$ echo $EPOCH
1146854736
[poxley@celeste ~]$ echo $EPOCH|awk '{print strftime("%c",$1)}'

To adjust the time, plus or minus e.g
[poxley@celeste ~]$ tstamp=`date +%s`
[poxley@celeste ~]$ (( adstamp =$tstamp - 86400 )) #less 24 hours
[poxley@celeste ~]$ echo $adstamp|awk '{print strftime("%c",$1)}'

Another method would be to use date -d:
[poxley@celeste ~]$ date -d '1970-01-01 sec'
Thu Jan 1 00:00:01 BST 1970
[poxley@celeste ~]$ date +%s
1147027276
[poxley@celeste ~]$ date -d '1970-01-01 1147027276 sec'
