UNIX emulator

[dimmutal]

Is there a UNIX emulator for kubuntu? I'm having some troubles in konsole (for example the parameter ls in the nslookup command isn't implemented), so i wonder if there is something like FUSE or cygwin for kubuntu...

Re: UNIX emulator

There are many Unices, Linux is one of them.
You have to be more specific.

You might get what you are looking for by using or installing an other shell.

Re: UNIX emulator

I just need a UNIX emulator because it seems that in my system some commands in the konsole aren't implemented. For example in the whois command i can't find anywhere how to use wildcards, or in the nslookup the ls parameter isn't implemented. So i wonder if there si a full UNIX emulator to run all the commands i need.

Re: UNIX emulator

How about the ksh package, in your Adept Manager package list? It says it is the "real AT&T" korn shell. Sound very unix-like to me!

hah ha ha -- you want ME to figure out the Korn shell? I last used it in 1992, and I only used a little bit of it then -- I'm useless for that! LOL

OK, I'll install ksh just to see what happens.

Re: UNIX emulator

OK, here you go, Dim:

dibl@cville:~$ ksh
$ whois
Usage: whois [OPTION]... OBJECT...

-l           one level less specific lookup [RPSL only]
-L           find all Less specific matches
-m           find first level more specific matches
-M           find all More specific matches
-c           find the smallest match containing a mnt-irt attribute
-x           exact match [RPSL only]
-d           return DNS reverse delegation objects too [RPSL only]
-i ATTR[,ATTR]...   do an inverse lookup for specified ATTRibutes
-T TYPE[,TYPE]...   only look for objects of TYPE
-K           only primary keys are returned [RPSL only]
-r           turn off recursive lookups for contact information
-R           force to show local copy of the domain object even
            if it contains referral
-a           search all databases
-s SOURCE[,SOURCE]... search the database from SOURCE
-g SOURCE:FIRST-LAST  find updates from SOURCE from serial FIRST to LAST
-t TYPE        request template for object of TYPE ('all' for a list)
-v TYPE        request verbose template for object of TYPE
-q [version|sources|types] query specified server info [RPSL only]
-F           fast raw output (implies -r)
-h HOST        connect to server HOST
-p PORT        connect to PORT
-H           hide legal disclaimers
   --verbose    explain what is being done
   --help      display this help and exit
   --version    output version information and exit

Re: UNIX emulator

Many many thanks dibl. Although still i haven't figured out how i can use wildcards in the whois >

whois "acme."@whois.crsnic.net

used to work in redhat...

Re: UNIX emulator

From "man whois" I see this:

SEE ALSO
RFC 3912: WHOIS Protocol Specification

RIPE-223: RIPE NCC Database Documentation

Maybe look up RFC 3912 and learn something about it -- I dunno.

Re: UNIX emulator

Take a look at this page: Linux / Unix Command: whois

Towards the bottom:

RIPE EXTENSIONS

To use the options specified in RIPE Document 157, you need to change the format of the query slightly. If you were to search for all entries in the RIPE database which lists the admin-c, tech-c or zone-c as CO19-RIPE, you could use the following command syntax:

jwhois -h whois.ripe.net -- -i admin-c,tech-c,zone-c CO19-RIPE

-- is used to separate the RIPE options from the jwhois options.

jwhois doesn't work in *ubuntu, so substitute with the whois command:

whois -h whois.ripe.net -- -i admin-c,tech-c,zone-c CO19-RIPE

and take a look at the results. This page, and the example might help you.

Re: UNIX emulator

jwhois seems to do something more than whois but still i can't figure out how it's working. Anyway, a similar problem is with the nslookup command. The ls parameter isn't implemented. How can i install it?
