I was able to use this script in an iApp that I am able to run on a schedule, basically a cron job via the gui.

 

There is a typo in it. Wherever you see 'will expired' it should be 'will expire'.

    Hi R Eastman The typo is from the certcheck script that I run to get info about all the certificates. If that typo is fixed in a later release (we run 11.3.0), the script stops working :) I assume this is what happened for you? What version do you run?

    Hmm. Same here. Just upgraded to HF8 a couple of hours ago and the typo is still in the "tmsh run sys crypto check-cert". Could be a remnant from an old version. I've seen some funny stuff hiding after upgrade. Our box was origanally in the 9.x branch when first bought, Then 10.x, and finally 11.x before going into production. So we found some scripts that still used Korn shell and similar stuff. But well.. No biggie, just fix the typo so it matches your output :)
