whoaint

I just want to know if the domain name is available, yo

A simple little bash script to tell you whether or not a domain name is available, harnessing the raw power of whois.

For people like me, who buy domains frequently and do nothing with them because Internet.

Installation

Put dat whoaint in some directory within your PATH

echo $PATH

I humbly suggest ~/bin as a good home. Make sure that directory is in your PATH.

echo 'export $PATH="~/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

Or:

echo 'export $PATH="~/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

Or whatever kind of crazy setup you have going.

Usage

$ whoaint microsoft.com

Domain microsoft.com is taken. Prolly squatters...
