Adjust to suit your needs. Currently this would kill any whois process running for more than 30 seconds or more than 1 minute. Add it as a cronjob. The motivation is that some commands have no timeout and just end up using up CPU and memory for no reason while never exiting to free resources. #!/bin/bash IFS=$(echo -en "nb") for pid in `ps aux|grep whois`; do echo "pid=::$pid::&qu........

whois in Linux is incredibly out of date and does not seem to recognize most new TLDs domains, but there is a quick and easy tip/hack/tweak for this. An example of new TLD's site as .review .site .club whois somesite.club No whois server is known for this kind of object. bash to the rescue Now I did try to apply this in .bashrc but DONOT!
