[Bug 854705] Re: dig returns 0 regardless of result of query

[Stéphane Bortzmeyer]

You never specified what you want. "Sometimes"??? Is that a
specification? For instance, NXDOMAIN is *not* an error.

May be you actually want something like:

 ADDRS=$(dig +short www.google.com); if [ -z "$ADDRS" ]; then echo
FAILURE; else echo SUCCESS; fi

For another example of testing dig results, see the script in
http://www.bortzmeyer.org/files/try-get-zone.sh
