batch name server check

Posted by bluebubble, 12-31-2007, 08:43 AM

hi, i want to check in a batch if my client's domain changed name server or not. Are there are tools / script available for that? thanks.

for i in `cat domain_list` >do >whois $i >echo "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" >done This would show the name servers from the whois records . PS : Please execute this in a linux machine

thx...but it shows the whole whois info is it possible to grep that line only?

for i in `cat domain_list` >do >whois $i |grep -i Domain >> file >whois $i | grep -i name >> file >echo "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" >done That should do the trick

I think you'd get better results with a DNS query. I don't know of any tools that do the whole job, without some coding.

if you run "dig" the nameserver will show up in the authority section.
