Requires `whois` to be installed. Just paste it into your terminal, and start typing in domains (e.g. `google.com` and hit enter) and it will tell you if the domain is available or not. Tested with .com, .net, .org, .ca, you're welcome to write a more robust version! # Example $ while read i; do echo -n "$i is "; ( whois $i | grep -F "$(echo -e 'No match\nNOT FOUND\n AVAIL')" -q && echo 'AVAILABLE! :D' || echo 'taken :('); ohhai.net ohhai.net is taken :( omgbbqponies.com omgbbqponies.com is AVAILABLE! :D</p> Thu, 23 Apr 2009 17:34:54 UTC https://snipplr.com/view/14345/shell-script-for-domain-searching-binges
