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

./dnsreg.sh: line 31: status+90000 mydomain.com.dnsreg red Thu Sep 20 17:27:42 EDT 2012

Domain mydomain.com expires on

: command not found

The script looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

Check DNS registrations in whois and warn when they are about to

expire.

NOTE: Requires a "whois" command that knows what servers to query.

Requires GNU date.

Should run only once a day.

NOW=date "+%s"

WARNTIME=expr $NOW + 864000 # 10 days

ALARMTIME=expr $NOW + 432000 # 5 day

/home/xymon/server/bin/xymongrep dnsreg | while read L

do

  set $L

  DOMAIN=$2



  EXPIRESTRING="`whois $DOMAIN | egrep -i

"Expires.*:|Expiration.*:|Renewal.*:" | head -n 1 | cut -d: -f2 | sed -e's/^[ ]*//'`"

  EXPIRES=`date --date="$EXPIRESTRING" "+%s"`



  if test $EXPIRES -le $ALARMTIME

  then

     COLOR=red

  elif test $EXPIRES -le $WARNTIME

  then

     COLOR=yellow

  else

     COLOR=green

  fi



  $XYMON $XYMDISP "status+90000 $DOMAIN.dnsreg $COLOR `date`

Domain $DOMAIN expires on $EXPIRESTRING

"

done
