Linux whois command

Is there a good console command for linux to do a whois on an address and if yes what is it?

Uh, huh huh, I'm not saying anything. :)

You answered you're own question maybe whois isnt in you're path ? if not it should be /usr/bin/whois and do a man whois to learn how to use it like to connect to diffrent whois networks etc

This is what you looking for here and as stated above whois is located at /usr/bin/whois

Usage: whois [OPTION...] query[@server[:port]]
valid options:
-h server server name
-p port server port
-t timeout query time limit
-r force recursion
-n disable recursion
-v verbose mode
-- treat remaining arguments as part of the query
default server is whois.crsnic.net

oh for goodness sakes man.

type

whois "the stuff your looking up"

without the quotes of course, and your done, after that, type man whois and read about it for more options.

Thanks
