Ask HN: A clean, simple and helpful Whois bash script replacement
I'm having a hard time finding a good bash script to supplement Whois on OS X & Linux. I've searched Github and Stack Overflow.
I can certainly create one, I'm thinking of a wrapper around the current Whois command with additional such as dig. I would like to know if there is something already out there, before I go this route.
Reason for this is, the large amount of unsolicited information returned by Whois e.g Disclaimers, ToS etc. And the lack of information at times. I would like a clean, simple and helpful output.
For example:
domain: example.com
...
owner: John Doe
...
registrar: GoDaddy
...
hosted on: Amazon Cloud
...
software: Wordpress (this would be cool)
...
P.s If this turns out to be an idea for a nonexistent thing, I'm happy to take this to Github.
