This is one piece of the LDAP registrar system that I developed.  We have an active github again, I just haven't had a chance to push the latest code up to it.

The code is set up to send multiple notifications that a domain is expiring (usually at 28, 14, and 7 days before expiration).  Unfortunately since the code has not been working properly for the past year, all of the older domains had exceeded the due date.  During testing, I run the code in debug mode so no actual changes are made on the server.  Unfortunately I forgot the cron job that runs it once per hour, and right after fixing the broken code the job came up to check parody domains.

Before letting the code actually start running live again, I implemented a couple of significant improvements.  The first was to make sure that the user has actually been notified recently before allowing a domain to be deleted (which will save us from future accidental deletions should the code fail again for a length of time).  The second change was to have it store an LDIF file of the complete domain being removed, so that I can easily restore a domain that wasn't supposed to be removed.

I'll try to post an announcement when I get the code posted up on github.

Is it possible to see the code (for educational reasons) when it's done?
Thanks in advance,

I'm working on the code that expires old domains from the database, and
accidentally removed 55 domains that expired over a year ago. If you
received an email about your domain being deleted, please note that
everything has been restored from backups and your domain is still
intact...  however once I get the code cleaned up you WILL be receiving
another email stating that your domain is expiring soon and that you
need to renew it.
