It can be run in both interactive and batch mode, and provides facilities to alarm (notify via email) if a domain is about to expire before it happens. This script supports additional C/TLDs .in, .biz, .org and .info domains, and also includes a 5 second delay to avoid whois server rejecting query.
Display expiration date and registrar for theos.in domain:
domain-check -d {domain-name}

You can also get an email if ‘theos.in’ is going to expire in 30 days:
$ domain-check -a -d theos.in -q -x 30 -e you@yourdomain.com
However, the most killer feature is that you can read a list of domain names from a file, such as ‘mydomains.txt’ (list each domain on a new line):
$ domain-check -a -f mydomains.txt -q -x 30 -e you@yourdomain.com
…or…
$ domain-check -f mydomains.txt
Output:
Domain Registrar Status Expires Days Left
