$ domain-check.sh -f domains

The third example will e-mail the address [email protected] with the domains that will expire in 60-days or less:
$ domain-check -a -f domains -q -x 60 -e [email protected]
Since each registrar provides expiration data in a unique format (if they provide it at all), domain-check is currently only able to processess expiration information for a subset of the available registrars.
