What's the context of this?
- bluedino 10y agoThe process seems to change every version of OS X for some reason. So basically this script runs the appropriate command for whichever version you are using.
- 27182818284 10y agoI've personally found myself Googling it at least once for each version. It gets more annoying if you want to explain it to a non-technical OS X user. Maybe this little repo will help them converge on a command alias for the future

- ajmurmann 10y agoThe content is that it's tricky to truly flush the DNS cache on OS X and the command to do it gets changed a lot with new releases. It's very annoying because it makes working with DNS very painful.
- heavymark 10y agoAny time I need to flush dns cache, I simply google "flush dns cache mac" and top result shows you the simply command to run: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202516 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202516 Having a simple command such as "reset dnscache" or something of course would be nice, but since it can already be done in a matter of seconds with a quick google I can't imagine it's that much of concern for apple of many developers compared to other issues.
- post_break 10y agoWhat if ping was different on every build of linux. Shit gets old.
- honkhonkpants 10y agoI guess that's really handy if your dns cache doesn't include a poisoned record for Google. Otherwise it's useless.
