Restart lookupd (to refresh dns cache)
ps ax | grep lookupd | grep -v grep | perl -ne 'split; print $_[0]' | xargs sudo kill -HUP
I'm often connecting to different networks depending on what job I'm doing, and sometimes I'll need to tweak my /etc/hosts file. Since my system will cache DNS lookups, I'll need to restart lookupd, and this command does it in one hit.
Refresh DNS in Leopard
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
You could also say
sudo lookupd -flushcache. I dunno how reliable that is though.Sod - this no long applies in Leopard...now to go hunting in
ps auxwwThis does the job apparently.
