Domain Expiration Check Shell Script

Domain Expiration Check Shell Script

This script checks to see if a domain has expired. It can be run in both interactive and batch mode, and provides facilities to alarm (notify via email) if a domain is about to expire before it happens. This script supports additional C/TLDs .in, .biz, .org and .info domains, and also includes a 5 second delay to avoid whois server rejecting query.

Sample usage

Display expiration date and registrar for theos.in domain: domain-check -d {domain-name}

$ domain-check -d theos.in

Output:

Domain                              Registrar         Status   Expires     Days Left
------------------------------- ----------------- -------- ----------- ---------
theos.in                            et4India (R7-AFIN Valid    28-Oct-2009   799  

You can also get an email if ‘theos.in’ is going to expire in 30 days:

$ domain-check -a -d theos.in -q -x 30 -e [email protected]

However, the most killer feature is that you can read a list of domain names from a file, such as ‘mydomains.txt’ (list each domain on a new line):

$ domain-check -a -f mydomains.txt -q -x 30 -e [email protected]

…or…

$ domain-check -f mydomains.txt

Output:

Domain                              Registrar         Status   Expires     Days Left
------------------------------- ----------------- -------- ----------- ---------
