Look at me! I'm early this year 🤪

Based on early searches, macOS 12 Monterey seems to use the same commands as macOS 11.

Update the code to more clearly identify new OS' going forward and add support for macOS 12.

New Packal Link: https://www.packal.org/workflow/flush-dns-106-120

Enjoy!

I needed to add semi-colons to the bash function to get this working for me

 

modern1 () { osascript -e 'do shell script "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder" with administrator privileges'; }
modern2 () { osascript -e 'do shell script "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder" with administrator privileges'; }

 

Hi, thanks for the heads up. Version 2.0.2 pushed to Packal

@harveyAny update for Big Sur?

I have released a new version. The code has been completely re-written so please let me know if there are any issues.

I have also added logic to support 11.1+ so if the current command does not change, it should to continue to work without requiring an update.

Please ensure you use v2.0.1

Thanks @Pierpaolo for the reminder. I have updated the logic to support 10.15. New version is on Packal.

Thanks @bigorno. I have updated logic to support 10.14 Mojave. New version is on Packal. Used a slightly better method:-

#!/bin/bash

ver=`sw_vers -productVersion`

IFS='.' read -r -a array <<< "$ver"

if [ ${array[1]} -eq 6 ]; then
    echo "Version ${ver} is Snow Leopard"
    osascript -e 'do shell script "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache" with administrator privileges'
elif [ ${array[1]} -ge 7 -a ${array[1]} -le 9 ]; then
    echo "Version ${ver} is Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks"
    osascript -e 'do shell script "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder" with administrator privileges'
elif ([ ${array[1]} -eq 10 ] && [ -z ${array[2]} ]) || ([ ${array[1]} -eq 10 ] && [ ${array[2]} -le 3 ]); then
    echo "Version ${ver} is Yosemite and 10.10.3 or less"
    osascript -e 'do shell script "sudo discoveryutil mdnsflushcache" with administrator privileges'
elif [ ${array[1]} -eq 10 ] && [ ${array[2]} -ge 4 ]; then
    echo "Version ${ver} is Yosemite and 10.10.4 or higher"
    osascript -e 'do shell script "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder" with administrator privileges'
elif [ ${array[1]} -ge 11 -a ${array[1]} -le 14 ]; then
    echo "Version ${ver} is El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave"
    osascript -e 'do shell script "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder" with administrator privileges'
else
    echo "Version ${ver} is Unknown"
    exit 1
fi

Down the pan!

Do the attached look any better @deanishe @xilopaint? Dark and light themes, highlighted and not variations?

The color of the icon doesn't suit well in Alfred dark themes. Please, consider to change the icon's color to suit both light and dark themes or add an option to change the icon according the theme.

I'm not much of a designer. If your able to provide an icon I'm happy to consider it.

Thank you for posting this.  It proves to be quite useful when performing intense loads.

Your very welcome

Thanks @CKIDOW . 

This has now been updated on Packal to support 10.13 High Sierra here http://www.packal.org/workflow/flush-dns-106-1011

Update 12/1/2017: Support for macOS Sierra 10.12

Awesome workflow! Thanks!

No problems, glad it helped

Ok, new version is up, same link, any problems, please let me know.

Sorry, that was be being lazy. Just modifying the script now to work on 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 & 10.8, will upload shortly.

Getting 'There was an unknown error uploading the file' when trying to upload an exported workflow to the website. Any ideas?

Fantastic idea, thanks!

Thanks for the Caffeine port. Functionality slightly different. Used to be able to use 'caff on' or 'caff off' for direct control as well as toggle.

Quickly pieced together a workflow to flush your DNS cache. Any comments, please let me know

Download workflow from here: http://goo.gl/i3AOY

Update

v2 uploaded to support different flush command depending on OS version 10.4 -> 10.8

Note, uploading to AlfTP and hope to have it available to download from there soon too.
