From www.cyberciti.biz<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve already written about a shell script to check \/ monitor domain renew \/ expiration date here<\/a>. Now I\u2019ve modified matt\u2019s domain-check<\/a> script to support additional C\/TLDs .in, .biz, .org and .info domains. I’ve also added 5 seconds delay to avoid whois server rejecting query. This script checks to see if a domain has expired. It can be run in interactive and batch mode, and provides facilities to alarm if a domain is about to expire in advance.
\nSample usage<\/p>\n

Display expiration date and registrar for theos.in domain:
\n
\ndomain-check-2 -d {domain-name}
\n<\/code>
\n
\n$ domain-check-2 -d theos.in
\nOutput:<\/p>\n

Domain Registrar Status Expires Days Left
\n----------------------------------- ----------------- -------- ----------- ---------
\ntheos.in et4India (R7-AFIN Valid 28-Oct-2009 799
\n<\/code>
\nYou can also get an email if theos.in going to expire in 30 days
\n
\ndomain-check-2 -a -d theos.in -q -x 30 -e vivek@nixcraft.com
\n<\/code>
\nHowever most killer feature is you can read list of domain names from a file such as mydomains.txt (list each domain on a new line):
\n
\n$ domain-check-2 -a -f mydomains.txt -q -x 30 -e vivek@nixcraft.com
\n<\/code>OR
\n$ domain-check-2 -f mydomains.txt
\n<\/code>
\nOutput:
\n
\nDomain Registrar Status Expires Days Left
