You can use the following command :

Code: Select all

echo | openssl s_client -servername SERVERNAME -connect SERVER:PORT 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -dates
An example:

Code: Select all

echo | openssl s_client -servername www.webmaster2020.com -connect www.webmaster2020.com:443 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -dates
notBefore=Jun 24 00:00:00 2020 GMT
notAfter=Aug  1 23:59:59 2022 GMT
