Nagios run command at intervals

[vincheesel]

Hi,

We have a check_whois.pl script running via Nagios which we would like to implement on our servers, this does a whois of the registrar.

The issue we have is that the AuDA who look after the com.au domains only allow 20 queries per hour and 100 queries per day.

Is there a way to set up this script for 350 of our domains to only check 95 times spread out within 24 hours? (around every 15 minutes)
It will take just over 3 and a half days to go through all our domains, then we would like it to start again.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Sure can, just setup your check interval to at or greater than 15 minutes, I would suggest at least 20 just to be safe that you do not run over your amount. Is it not possible to check whois against a different registrar such as godaddy or network solutions?
