I want to write a small script to check the whois information for domains
that I want to check on. The information I want is when the domain expires.
problem I am having is when I check a .com domain, the text returned is
"Expires" and when I check a .ca domain, the text I'm looking for is
"Renewal" How can I write this script to check for either word and grep it
out without having to run the whois command twice?

Here's my script so far:

#!/bin/sh
echo
echo -n "Enter domain name to check: "
read DOMAIN
echo "Checking whois information for $DOMAIN..."
whois $DOMAIN | grep Expires
whois $DOMAIN | grep Renewal
