  • extracting server information from the whois command.

    Hey guys I am hoping some of you guys might be able to help me with a script I am working on. I am trying to extract just the name server information when using the whois command. for example this is the whois name server for ebay:

    Code
    Name Server: smf-dns1.ebaydns.com
Name Server: smf-dns2.ebaydns.com
Name Server: ns1.p47.dynect.net
Name Server: sjc-dns1.ebaydns.com
Name Server: sjc-dns2.ebaydns.com


    At the moment I have this:

    Code
    whois ebay.com | grep -E "[Ss]ervers{0,1}:"


    But I have noticed some websites format the name servers differently i.e. some have nservers, Name Servers etc... But the one that is catching me is websites that list the servers on a new line. e.g.

    Code
    Name Server: 
smf-dns1.test.com
smf-dns2.test.com


    Have any of you guys any idea how I be able to get the server addresses that are on the new line but also flexible enough that it will work with other websites that are on one line.

  • dm800 error message when connecting usb?

  • dm800 error message when connecting usb?

    Sorry forgot to add. I have run into the same problem with a different stick. Besides the stick work fine in another dm800? After encountering this problem I then tried the same usb stick when I confirmed it worked in the other dreambox and the same error comes up.

  • dm800 error message when connecting usb?

    Hi guys has anyone encountered a message like this when connecting a usb to a dm800. This is the message I get when I try initialize the usb stick: Error: warning could not determine physical sector size for /dev/sda. Using the logical sector size (512). Error partitions 16, 17 , 18... upto 64 on /dev/sda have been written but unable to inform kernel of change, probably because in use. As a result old partitions will remain in use. You should reboot before making further changes.


    I have tried the same usb stick in a different dreambox and works fine.


    Note: I have a similar thread but it was moved to plugin support but I dont consider the problem to be with the plugin so I dont think it is in the relevant area. I think I might of unmounted incorrectly and affected drivers or something but I think if the the thread is in a more relevant area I might be more successful in receiving feedback.

  • usb issues on dm800 with flashexpander plugin

    Hi guys I was messing around with a flash expander plugin recently, I then noticed I couldnt record anymore so I reverted back and was unable to initialize the usb stick. I get a mad error like this:
    Error: warning could not determine physical sector size for /dev/sda. Using the logical sector size (512). Error partitions 16, 17 , 18... upto 64 on /dev/sda have been written but unable to inform kernel of change, probably because in use. As a result old partitions will remain in use. You should reboot before making further changes.


    A Reboot makes no difference I get this message every time. I thought I ruined the usb so I tried in different dm800 and it initializes ok. I also tried a new usb in the dreambox with the issue and the same error is there. I am going to reflash the image to see if this will resolve the problem but before I do im just asking here in case any of you guys have advice on the matter.?
