Converting a random epoch time into a readable format
I am trying to create a script that will take epoch (input from command line) and convert it into a readable format in bash/shell

---------- Post updated at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous update was at 07:59 PM ----------
Code:
#!bin/bash

read -p "Please enter a number to represent epoch time:" STRING
echo "The UNIX time for $STRING is ($(($date -d "$STRING" + %m-%d-%Y %T utc)"

svn-upgrade

SVN-UPGRADE(1)							 Command reference						    SVN-UPGRADE(1)

NAME

       svn-upgrade - upgrade source package from a new upstream revision

SYNOPSIS

       svn-upgrade newsource [options]

DESCRIPTION

       svn-upgrade modifies a Debian package source located in a Subversion repository, upgrading it to a new upstream release. The repository
       filesystem tree must be in the format created by svn-inject.

OPTIONS

       svn-upgrade accepts the following options on the command-line:

       -V STRING | --version STRING
	   Forces a different upstream version string

	   Default: Off.

       -c | --clean
	   Runs make clean and removes the debian/ directory in the new source.

	   Default: Off.

       -P STRING | --packagename STRING
	   Forces a different package name

	   Default: Off.

       -v | --verbose
	   More verbose program output

	   Default: Off.

       -r | --replay-conflicting
	   Extra cleanup run: replaces all conflicting files with upstream versions. Review of svn status output before doing that could make
	   sense.

	   Default: Off.

       -N | --noautodch
	   Upgrade without making a new changelog entry.

	   Default: Make the changelog entry.

       -u | --uscan
	   Use uscan to download the new version.

       --noninteractive
	   Turn off interactive mode.

       --ignoreerrors
	   In noninteractive mode, ignore errors.

       --ignored-files-action STRING
	   Make files that are ignored due to subversion ignore patterns to be 'import'ed or 'skip'ed.

       -e | --auto-epoch
	   Automatically increase version epoch if the new upstream version is not greater than the current.

       --debclean
	   Run debclean before merging the new upstream source.

       Tarballs must be compressed with gzip or bzip2.
