Command line parameters
The script can be executed in command line or from the crontab (see: Manage recurring jobs: license expiration check, log events (cron)) using the following command:
# /opt/charon/utils/charon_expchk |
Some parameters are available:
- Number of days before the license expires that will generate an alert → specify a number of days (default = 7)
- Prevent from sending default email →
-nomail . This option is useful when a custom script is created to send alerts (see further) - Force the expiration date for debugging →
-expdat=<DD-MMM-YYYY> where DD = day of the month, MMM = month (3 characters, 1st letter uppercase), YYYY = year
Example (command executed on 21-Jul-2020):
# /opt/charon/utils/charon_expchk 15 -nomail -expdat= |
13Dec-2018
The command above, with forced expiration date, will provide the following results:

Custom alert script
A customer script can be created to send alerts for example when a monitoring software is installed.
...

- Note: NEUTRAL is sent when no alert is detected, used to send counter alert.
- $2 = message starting with ":" followed by the license expiration date, the license number and the product.
- Example:
: 1324-DecJul-20182020. License: 10034151001687. Product: CHARON-AXP
