+# Whois Infrastructure Automator (for ISPs)
+
+### 🚀 The Problem
+In large ISP infrastructures, keeping the `whois` description of IP addresses synchronized with the actual network topology is a manual nightmare. When a switch is renamed or replaced, hundreds of IP records can become outdated.
+
+### 🛠 The Solution
+This script automates the synchronization between a **PostgreSQL billing database** and a **local Whois server**.
+
+### Key Features:
+* ● **Auto-Discovery:** Fetches all IP addresses associated with a renamed switch from the DB.
+* ● **Context-Aware Update:** Intelligently parses current Whois data and replaces only the relevant switch names.
+* ● **Email Integration:** Automatically generates and sends update requests to the RIPE-like Whois mail robots.
+* ● **Logging:** Full traceability of all actions and errors.
+
+### 📖 Usage
+1. Configure your credentials in `whois.conf`.
+2. Run the script with the new switch name as an argument:
+   ```bash
+   ./whois_upd.sh "NEW_SWITCH_HOSTNAME"
+   ```
