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 When a switch is renamed or replaced, hundreds of IP records can become outdated.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

Configure your credentials in whois.conf.
Run the script with the new switch name as an argument:
```
./whois_upd.sh "NEW_SWITCH_HOSTNAME"
```
