If I want to fire off an update of a test for a single host, what in this command am I missing?
This is what I've tried so far:
bbcmd bbtest-net domain.org.dnsreg
bbcmd bbtest-net domain.org dnsreg
It doesn't update and I can't seem to figure out any better command to run to get it to run.
Thanks,
John Tullis

Cool! So my hosts file would look something like this?
0.0.0.0 domain1.com # NOCONN dnsreg:10
0.0.0.0 domain2.com # NOCONN dnsreg:11
0.0.0.0 domain3.com # NOCONN dnsreg:12
0.0.0.0 domain4.com # NOCONN dnsreg:16
0.0.0.0 domain5.com # NOCONN dnsreg:20

I’m currently running the DNSREG script. I’m querying over 250 domains and toward the end, the whois server blocks me so all of the domains after that point report red. I’m trying to figure out a way to fix that.
It’s set to run every 24 hours.
1) Is there a way to set it to check 50 domains every four hours or so instead of running all of them at midnight.
It wouldn't be hard to make your 'tag' be of the form:
"dnsreg:[hour]"
You could then bbhostgrep for the tag, and only query those hosts whose tagged hour aligns with the current hour. You could then schedule your job to run every hour and control the query rate by editing the bb-hosts file.
