While moving a web site, i want to check whois of the domain to find name servers. I run
root@vps73324 [~]# whois customer-domain-name.com -bash: whois: command not found root@vps73324 [~]#
Whois is not installed, we need to install it.
To find which package provide whois command, run
root@vps73324 [~]# yum whatprovides "*/bin/whois" Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile base/filelists_db | 5.9 MB 00:00 extras/filelists_db | 11 kB 00:00 updates/filelists_db | 2.0 MB 00:00 jwhois-4.0-19.el6.x86_64 : Internet whois/nicname client Repo : base Matched from: Filename : /usr/bin/whois jwhois-4.0-19.el6.x86_64 : Internet whois/nicname client Repo : installed Matched from: Filename : /usr/bin/whois root@vps73324 [~]#
We found out the name of the package is jwhois.

yum install jwhois
