Takes input from stdin, so you can keep typing in domains to see if they're available. 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
