Cron script to renew Let's Encrypt certs using the official client

	#!/bin/bash
	# This is free and unencumbered software released into the public domain.
	#
	# This script is designed to be run daily by cron. Please run it with randomness in its timing to
	# avoid load spikes at Let's Encrypt. One example, running between midnight at 2 AM, would be:
	#
	# 0 0 * * * sleep $[(RANDOM % 115)+5]m ; /usr/sbin/letsencrypt-renew.sh
	#
	# If you aren't using Nginx, adjust the startServer and stopServer methods to suit. Also, you could
	# use the webroot method.

	# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.
	#
	# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
	# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
	# programs.
	#
	# Once you're done here, go to
	# http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html
