Hi Guys,
I am trying to modify a nagios script which checks whois expiration dates.
Unfortunately our very own CFI/I3C whois server produces dates in 'Expiry:
24th September, 2013' format. I would like a bash date format for my
script.
expiration=`whois $domain -h registry.co.ug|grep "Expiry:"| awk -F"Expiry:"
'{print $2}'|cut -f 1`
cleaned=`echo $expiration | sed 's/\,//g'`
cleaned2=`echo $cleaned | sed 's/th//g'`
expseconds=`date +%s --date="$cleaned2"`
nowseconds=`date +%s`
((diffseconds=expseconds-nowseconds))
expdays=$((diffseconds/86400))
I added cleaned with strips the comma from a date, and cleaned2 which strips
the th from 24th for example, but need a solution that will work for any date
i.e. 2nd March, 2013 or 1st January, 2014.
Any takers this would make a useful check_whois script so we can poll their
servers from Nagios.
Obviously CFI/I3C could make this all go away by using ISO dates instead. ;-)
