  • Cron job that shutsdown your hosted system and sends you an email to help prompt you to do it, and it’s free to use forever.

    0 0 15 12 * /bin/bash -c 'echo "System will shutdown in solidarity with Domain X needing to be renewed." | mail -s "Renew your domain asshole" your_email@example.com && /sbin/shutdown -h +15'

    0 0 15 12 * /bin/bash -c 'echo "System will shutdown in solidarity with Domain X needing to be renewed. You have 2 more uses before you lose your free status and are billed 10.95 monthly for our monitoring service." | mail -s "Renew your domain asshole" your_email@example.com && /sbin/shutdown -h +15'
