dnsreg script question

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread.

I added the sleep to the command because I'm running bbcmd on a few hundred domains. The script failed to run and I'm not sure why.

My other issue is that there are a few domains that I want to run individually instead of it running the script on all the domains. Is there a way to kick off a test for a single host?
I tried using "bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test domain.com dnsreg" but that only told me what alert rules applied to this but didn't update anything. Is there some command where I can tell a specific domain to do a fresh dnsreg?

Ok let me tweak it around. What does this line do anyhow? I keep seeing

that pop up and then the error about command being not found


thanks

Rereading your message, it seems perhaps $XYMON or $XYMDISP are not

populated. Are you running this under xymoncmd to set the environment? I

run from cron daily with:


/home/xymon/server/bin/xymoncmd

--env=/home/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg

/home/xymon/server/ext/dnsreg


A few other differences in my script:


1.       I'm using $XYMSRV instead of $XYMDISP. Hmm...I don't have a

$XYMDISP anywhere, maybe $BBDISP wasn't updated to $XYMSRV properly?


2.       Added a "sleep 60" command before "done". Whois seems to get

angry with me if I query a bunch of domains in quick succession.


3.       Had to modify the sed commands for EXPIRESTRING:

EXPIRESTRING="`whois $DOMAIN | egrep -i

"Expires.*:|Expiration.*:|Renewal.*:" | head -n 1 | cut -d: -f2 | sed

-e's/^\s*//' | sed -e's/\s.*//'`"


Cheers.

I installed  'whois' and I am able to do a manual query 'whois

domain.com'. but unable to run the script manually to test it.

I'm guessing you don't have 'whois' available or in the path.

I am having an issue trying to get the dnsreg script working. I install

it and all and when I go to test it I get this (I took out my domain).

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

The script looks like this:

expire.

#       Requires GNU date.
