Monitoring SSL certificate expiration with ssl-cert-check

Posted by evan in Uncategorized on August 31st, 2009

I was about to write a script using OpenSSL to monitor the SSL certificate expiration dates for a few servers when it dawned on me that someone had probably done this already.

The ssl-cert-check shell script takes a list of hosts/ports and prints out the expiration date (and how many days away that date is). It can also be configured to email a message for any certificates expiring in less than N days for easy cronibility (?). Seems lovely!

So Googling for “migrate rt from mysql to postgresql” brought me here. I tried the procedure listed there but it wasn’t quite working for me. my2pg.pl and mysql2postgresql.perl both caused segfaults when I tried to run them. I realized I was on my own, and it wasn’t really that bad.
