DNS Domain Expiration Check 1.0

DNS Domain Expiration Check is a utility for checking DNS domain expiration dates.

domain-check queries WHOIS data in realtime, and can be integrated with cron to provide e-mail notifications prior to a domain expiring.

The first example will print the expiration date and registrar for daemons.net:

$ domain-check.sh -d daemons.net

Domain Registrar Status Expires Days Left
----------------------------------- ----------------- -------- ----------- ---------
daemons.net INTERCOSMOS MEDIA Valid 13-feb-2006 64


The second example prints the expiration date and registrar for the domains listed in the file "domains":

$ domain-check.sh -f domains

Domain Registrar Status Expires Days Left
----------------------------------- ----------------- -------- ----------- ---------
sun.com NETWORK SOLUTIONS Valid 20-mar-2010 1560

daemons.net INTERCOSMOS MEDIA Valid 13-feb-2006 64

The third example will e-mail the address admin@daemons.net with the domains that will expire in 60-days or less:

$ domain-check -a -f domains -q -x 60 -e admin@daemons.net
