echo | openssl s_client -servername support-forge.com -connect support-forge.com:443 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -enddate

# Check all sites
for site in support-forge.com vineyardvalais.com witchsbroomcleaning.com sweetmeadow-bakery.com homebasevet.com jpbailes.com; do
  expiry=$(echo | openssl s_client -servername $site -connect $site:443 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -enddate 2>/dev/null | cut -d= -f2)
  echo "$site: $expiry"
done
