Small hackish script to monitor expiration time
- bash
- openssl
- awk
cert_validity.sh <hostname>(port 443 assumed)cert_validity.sh <hostname:port>
It would then warn if the expiry date is lower than "1 2 3 5 10 15 30" days, that means on the 29th day, 14th day, 9th day,... ahead of expiration time.
If you don't like this you can supply another sequence as a second argument -- mind the quotes:
prompt> ./cert_validity.sh testssl.sh "2 3 5 7 10 15 80 100"
Certificate from "testssl.sh:443" expires in < 100 days
--> at Dec 6 12:59:34 2020 GMT
prompt>
You should best not run this manually but in a crontab like
42 22 * * * [email protected] <PATH>/cert_validity.sh testssl.sh "1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15"
MAILTO is only needed when the owner's crontab mail is ending up where you don't want it.
