-h Help
-H Host (IP or domain name to connect to) like: -H www.example.com

-v Verbose
-V Version
-w Warning value to alert on (days until expiration) like: -c 21

Good plugin but Vladimir's modified one is better since you also check a cert file.
Vladimir's plugin can be found here:

Hi,

Thanks for the plugin.

I have extended it so that it can also check certificates in a file - plus a few minor improvements.

You are welcome to grab my version from https://subversion.ceres.auckland.ac.nz/BeSTGRID/df/scripts/check_ssl_certificate

Cheers,
Vlad

PS: The set of changes in this
# 2014-03-26 Vladimir Mencl
# - add support for checking a certificate in the file (-f)
# - add option for supporting a full DN instead of just CN (-D)
# - support both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms with "use lib" path
# - move some verbose ouput under DEBUG (-d)
# - FIX: add missing exit for expired certificate as per comment on plugin
# page
# - use POSIX:floor() instead of int() for rounding daysLeft
# (not to get "0 days left" for certificates that just expired)

Does exactly what I wanted, checking the date on ssl certificates and informing me if they are about to expire.

After expiration it reports the certificate as good. The culprit is a missing exit statement in the expired check; see the diff output below for a fix.
