Is dig tool available on HPUX

[Ranjith_5]

Hi Shiva,

Command option for timout is +time=T

This sets the timeout for a query to T seconds. The default time out is 5 seconds. An attempt to set T to less than 1 will result in a query timeout of 1 second being applied.

See the example of dig in the last post you can add the +time=T with that ans specify timeout in T seconds.

You can just use nsquery or nslookup or ping instead.

If you are getting timed out then, remote machine is not running or routing problem.

# ping www.abc.com
# nslookup www.abc.com

what it is saying?

If you find that the dig or other named-related stuff from either HP or the porting sites are not as new as you would like, the bits from www.isc.org have a long history of successful compilation on HP-UX straight out of the tar files.

Sirs,

I tried to use dig after install but got the following error:-


# ./dig www.abc.com

; <<>> DiG 2.0 <<>> www.abc.com
;; res_send to server default -- 0.0.0.0: Connection timed out
#

Can someone suggest how to fix this ?

Thanks,
Shiv

Sounds like your resolver isn't setup or your DNS servers don't forward to the internet...

You should get:

# dig www.abc.com

; <<>> DiG named 9.2.0 <<>> www.abc.com

What is in your /etc/resolv.conf?

Also - the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf

You need a valid server(s) ip(s) in resolv.conf and dns on the hosts line in nsswitch.conf:

hosts: files [NOTFOUND=CONTINUE] dns

Hi Shiva,

See the last example given for dig command. I think you missed a @ in the command line.

See this thread.

Are u able to resolve using nslookup? See the order of name resolution priorities set in /etc/nsswitch.conf and Order of DNS servers specified in /etc/resolv.conf. Also increase the timout value in your dig command and try.
