+# Changes:
+#   10/30/2008 dja <alden@math.ohio-state.edu>
+#      - fixed a bug which caused it to not deal with certs that expire
+#        on a single digit day (thanks to Christian Sava, Kyle Smith &
+#        Raphael Berlamont)
+#
+#   10/09/2007 dja <alden@math.ohio-state.edu>
+#      - fixed a bug which caused it to improperly report expired certs
+#        (thanks to Hassan Alusesi for pointing this out)
+#      - no longer use temporary files or Date::Manip
+#        (thanks to tommybobbins on NagiosExchange)
+#      - added the printing of the Common Name (CN) if verbose is specified
+#        (thanks to mp72 on NagiosExchange)
+#
+#
+# Description:
+#   This script will check if an SSL certificate is going to expire.  For
+# example, to check the IMAP certificate on an imaps port:
+#
+# check_ssl_certificate -H 1.1.1.1 -p 993
+#
+#
+# Installation:
+#   Edit this script, replacing the line:
+#       use lib "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins";
+#   with the path to your nagios plugins directory (where utils.pm is
+#   located).  Also edit the line:
+#       my $openssl = "/usr/bin/openssl";
+#   with the path to your openssl binary.  Then copy the script into
+#   your nagios plugins directory.
+#
