whois ?
Submitted by wifi on Thu, 11/13/2008 - 12:51pm.
I've made a small script that needs 'whois'.
Problem is that the command whois is not installed on my TrixBox CentOS.
yum search whois will give me only one result back

Anyone here who might know if this 'jwhois' will work (and not break) my now good running TrixBox setup?
All I need is an easy to use whois IP / domain from my terminal connection.
Thant you.
No that's an xwindows tool.

Yes I'm logging in as root.
Doing and updatedb and locate whos only returns this:

It really looks like my 'whois' is missing!

Above command is run as root.
This is a clean install of trixbox CE 2.6.1.13
Could some other "trixbox CE

Could some other "trixbox CE 2.6.1.13" user please test and see if they do have the "whois" working?
Login with SSH (as root), and just type 'whois'
With a bit of luck you should get some message back from whois.
If you do not have it installed, you will get an error like: whois: command not found
For some reason my trixbox does not have it :-(
Thank you for testing.
jwhois

is the package you want. It should only install one rpm, no deps are needed on a fresh install of 2.6.1.13. Just did it myself and it provided /usr/bin/whois.
Thank you,
