Fix: Command not found for whois and dig

Hello,

If you have not installed bind-utils then you wont be able to execute dig commands. basically dig command can be used to DNS information and reverse lookup of a host etc.

To install dig commands , type below commands in your terminal

yum install bind-utils

Then you can try with

dig google.com
dig -x google.com 

If you have executed those commands, you will see sample output as below


and if who is command not working then you have to install jwhois package.

yum install jwhois
and you can test command usage with

whois google.com


Hope it helps you some day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
