Fixing the warning --> getssl: this script requires one of: nslookup drill dig host

[Aspire-Design-Ltd]

Hi. I am using a VPS server with debian loaded and I am getting the error getssl: this script requires one of: nslookup drill dig host

Reading the issues list this link suggested a possible solution.

If I include the line nslookup() {busybox nslookup "$@";} in the script file getssl then everything works but my problem is when the script file auto updates I loose the modification.

I tried to add the line into the getssl.cfg files but this was thrown out as an error.

Any ideas?

Thanks. MPC.

Was able to fix this by having a script getssl_nslookup_fix which exported the new nslookup function.

#!/bin/bash
nslookup() { busybox nslookup "$@" ; }
export nslookup

Then added this to the cron table
0 0 * * 1 BASH_ENV=/root/getssl_nslookup_fix /root/getssl -w /root/.getssl -u -a -q

This checks every Monday week for a valid certificate.
