DNS lookup
If a SOA exits then we know it's taken.
$ dig +short SOA google.com
ns1.google.com. dns-admin.google.com. 429863821 900 900 1800 60
Bash
function check_tld {
# $dns is not quoted so it's ignored if empty
if [ -z "$(dig +short SOA "$1" $dns)" ]; then
echo "$(tput setaf 2)${1}$(tput sgr0)"
else
echo "$(tput setaf 1)${1}$(tput sgr0)" >&2
fi
