    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[ort]]
    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
