to fix some glitch's in Ubuntu: expirationdate=$(date -d "$(echo -n | openssl s_client -servername "$TARGET" -connect "$TARGET":"443" 2>&- | openssl x509 -enddate -noout | awk -F= '{print $2}')" +%s)

i am using this script

#!/bin/bash
TARGET="mysite.example.net";
RECIPIENT="[email protected]";
DAYS=7;
echo "checking if $TARGET expires in less than $DAYS days";
expirationdate=$(date -d "$(: | openssl s_client -connect $TARGET:443 -servername $TARGET 2>/dev/null
| openssl x509 -text
| grep 'Not After'
|awk '{print $4,$5,$7}')" '+%s');
in7days=$(($(date +%s) + (86400*$DAYS)));
if [ $in7days -gt $expirationdate ]; then
echo "KO - Certificate for $TARGET expires in less than $DAYS days, on $(date -d @$expirationdate '+%Y-%m-%d')"
| mail -s "Certificate expiration warning for $TARGET" $RECIPIENT ;
else
echo "OK - Certificate expires on $expirationdate";
fi;

Place all your domains in a file. Run the script in a loop, giving the loop a domain each time it runs. Maybe something like this:

#!/bin/bash

DOMAINS="/path/to/list/of/domains/list.txt"
RECIPIENT="[email protected]"
DAYS="7"

while read -r TARGET; do
  echo "checking if $TARGET expires in less than $DAYS days";
  expirationdate=$(date -d "$(: | openssl s_client -connect "$TARGET":443 -servername "$TARGET" 2>/dev/null \
                                | openssl x509 -text \
                                | grep 'Not After' \
                                |awk '{print $4,$5,$7}')" '+%s');
  in7days=$(($(date +%s) + (86400*DAYS)));
  if [ "$in7days" -gt "$expirationdate" ]; then
      echo "KO - Certificate for $TARGET expires in less than $DAYS days, on $(date -d @"$expirationdate" '+%Y-%m-%d')" \
      | mail -s "Certificate expiration warning for $TARGET" $RECIPIENT ;
  else
      echo "OK - Certificate expires on $expirationdate";
  fi;
done<"${DOMAINS}"

Define your list of domains on line 3. I added some double quotes to his original script.

Hi,

I'm a new user of Linux can you please explain this "$(: ". the exact usage of this command,

without this line, "while read" exited after the first-line executed

thanks
