Anyway, thanks for keeping us up and running!
There's a tool you use to renew them, just a command from the command line. The command does a verification before doing the renewal just to make sure that things are as they should be (i.e. prove that you own the domain name), so usually it's easy to have it automated; just run the command automatically once a day or week or whatever.

Unfortunately I'm using what's called a wildcard cert and that verification method is more complicated, I have to update some DNS records with a couple of strings and there's no built in way to automate that.

I'll probably change things a bit at some point to make it easier to automate.
