I don't think nomultiline does what you think it does. I suspect, from reading the man file, it's about individual records that have multiline outputs, not whole query answers that do. e.g. If a single record, like the "a165.g.akamai.net" data, had more information directly associated with it. But, whatever it actually means, you could tag the following onto the end of your command line: |head -n 1 -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
