Request: Edit Hosts File


Recommended Posts

Has anyone created a workflow for more robust editing of the hosts file?

 

Of course, typing this into Terminal works just fine:

sudo nano /private/etc/hosts

 

But was wondering if anyone has taken it beyond the basics? (Like opening in TextWrangler / TextEdit, etc)

I just press 'ga' and hit Enter to open Gas Mask and edit hosts file.

You can very well set a custom keyword like 'hosts' to open that app if you think that app name is not easy enough to remember by creating a workflow.

Here is my little workflow that launches 'Gas Mask' app (if present, of course) using the hosts keyword: http://cl.ly/0T2L2s3n0L2R
