Yahoo & DMOZ expired domain names

[ayajshaikh]

Hi,
can any one tell me how can i get yahoo & DMOZ expireddomain names(it will be very good if you suggets me any PHP or CGI script for that).

[PaulX]

Sorry, but the DMOZ domains are not expired.

And now for what you probably wanted to ask "is there a possibility to find domains listed in the Yahoo and DMOZ directories that are expired?"
Ask yourself this question "if there is a possibility to find such domains wouldn't Yahoo and DMOZ use it themself to find expired or expiring domains to remove them from their directory"

[kiviniar]

you can buy a software - aprox 130 $ USD

I think i know of one ;-)

I remember seeing a script for this, but it was horrible and was never correct..

[ayajshaikh]

thanx for all replies friends,
i got the Shell script by which 1 can get expiry date of the domain using "whois" I have tested it and it is good; but i want to search in Yahoo and DMOZ for the same purpose will it help me?
Do any 1 know about this?

The Script Goes Like this::

#
# License:

#
# Requirements:
# Requires whois
#
# Installation:
# Copy the shell script to a suitable location
#
# Tested platforms:
# -- Centos 4 using /bin/bash
# -- Solaris 9 using /bin/bash
# -- Solaris 10 using /bin/bash
# -- OS X 10.4.2 using /bin/sh
# -- OpenBSD using /bin/sh
# -- FreeBSD using /bin/sh
# -- Redhat advanced server 3.0MU3 using /bin/sh
#
# Usage:
# Refer to the usage() sub-routine, or invoke domain-check
# with the "-h" option.
#
# Example:
#
# The first example will print the expiration date and registrar for prefetch.net:
#
# $ domain-check.sh -d prefetch.net
#
# Domain Status Expires Days Left
# ----------------------------------- -------- ----------- ---------
# prefetch.net Valid 13-feb-2006 64
#
# The second example prints the expiration date and registrar for the domains
# listed in the file "domains":
#
# $ domain-check.sh -f domains
#
# Domain Status Expires Days Left
# ----------------------------------- -------- ----------- ---------
# sun.com Valid 20-mar-2010 1560
# google.com Valid 14-sep-2011 2103
# ack.com Valid 09-may-2008 880
# prefetch.net Valid 13-feb-2006 64
# spotch.com Valid 03-dec-2006 357
#
# The third example will e-mail the address admin@prefetch.net with the domains that
# will expire in 60-days or less:
#
# $ domain-check -a -f domains -q -x 60 -e admin@prefetch.net
#

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/ssl/bin:/usr/sfw/bin ; export PATH

# Who to page when an expired domain is detected (cmdline: -e)
ADMIN="notify@me.please"

# Number of days in the warning threshhold (cmdline: -x)
WARNDAYS=30

# If QUIET is set to TRUE, don't print anything on the console (cmdline: -q)
QUIET="FALSE"

# Don't send emails by default (cmdline: -a)
ALARM="FALSE"


# Location of system binaries
AWK="/bin/awk"

Thanks for the link, I guess I'll check it out tonight if I have the time..

[ayajshaikh]

"All thanks to the god" who helped me to made a script that can search through YAHOO and DMOZ directories and can return the expiry date of the Domain( For this Thanks to "Whois" ) if any one wants to know how it works or want to contribute i m always here :
