Get list of mass/multi domain redirects with CURL

I had large list of domains for which I had to check to which location are they pointing/redirecting. Curl is best option for this kind of work. To save some time, I wrote this simple one liner which will do that for you.

First, create txt file which will contain list of all domains that you want to check. For this example I will create domains.txt. 

Then, run this command – replace file name with yours.

> $ for i in `cat domains.txt`; do echo -n "$i -> "; curl -I -s -L -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} -o /dev/null $i; echo "\t"; done

This will give you domain name with location to which it’s redirecting:

domain1.com -> https://www.domain1.com/sl 
domain1.de -> https://www.domain1.com/de 
domain2.si -> http://domain2.si/si 
example.com -> https://www.example.com/
lalala.es -> https://www. lalala.es/spain 
bash.com -> https://www.bash.com/i/love
...

Bulk TTL change in Directadmin

You may want to change TTL values for all domains and their DNS records on your Directadmin server. This can be done very easily. Here is how.

  • Go to templates directory.
    cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates
  • Directadmin’s default TTL value is 14400, so let’s say we want to change it to 300. You will have to edit template file named.db.
    sed -ie 's/14400/300/g' named.db
  • Rewrite all configuration files for each user
    echo "action=rewrite&value=named" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

Wait a minute or two, then check if user configs were rewrited with new values. Go to /etc/namedb and than open .db file of some domain. It should contain new TTL value.
