To check if a node is out of sync, examine the blocks vs headers in getblockchaininfo. To determine the duration of the sync:

median=$(curl -s -u "rpcuser:rpcpass" -d '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id": "curl", "method": "getblockchaininfo", "params": []}' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:19332/ | jq -r '.result.mediantime')
seconds=$(echo $(date +%s) - $median | bc )
echo $((seconds/86400))" days "$(date -d "1970-01-01 + $seconds seconds" "+%H hours %M minutes %S seconds")
1525 days 10 hours 41 minutes 27 seconds

To see the number of blocks remaining to sync:

headers=$(curl -s -u "rpcuser:rpcpass" -d '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id": "curl", "method": "getblockchaininfo", "params": []}' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:19332/ | jq -r '.result.headers')

echo "blocks=$blocks / headers=$headers"
echo "blocks to sync:"
echo "$headers - $blocks" | bc
