The feature I'd find a bit more usefull would be a -f (or soemthing like
it) that would allow an auto follow. Meaning that now that there are 12
appoved signing auths for .com,net,org you have to do 2 howis queries to
find out the contact info, not handy for some things, currently this is
what I use to acmplish the same thing, however I can't tell the diffrence
between no such domain, and network timeout.. (ok well I could, but... :-) )
#!/bin/sh
WHOISSERVER=`whois $1 | grep "Whois Server:" | awk '{printf($3)}'`
whois -h $WHOISSERVER $1
I have a shell script that I'm using for this now, but it's a bit clunky.
