        imap_ssl_cert -?
        imap_ssl_cert --help

DEPENDENCIES

       This utility requires the following perl modules to be installed:

       Getopt::Long Mail::IMAPClient IO::Socket::SSL Net::SSLeay

OPTIONS

       --timeout <seconds>
           Abort  with  critical status if it takes longer than <seconds> to connect to the IMAP server. Default
           is 60 seconds.  The difference between timeout and critical is that, with the default settings, if it
           takes 45 seconds to connect to the server then the connection will succeed but the plugin will return
           CRITICAL because it took longer than 30 seconds.  Also known as: -t <seconds>

       --hostname <server>
           Address or name of the IMAP server. Examples: mail.server.com, localhost,  192.168.1.100  Also  known
           as: -H <server>

       --port <number>
           Service  port  on the IMAP server. Default is 143. If you use SSL, default is 993.  Also known as: -p
           <number>

       --verbose
           Display additional information. Useful for troubleshooting.

           Also known as: -v
