Alfred 2 Flush DNS Workflow

Flush the DNS cache in Mac OS X (10.7+).

Usage

Keyword: fdns

No arguments will prompt you for a user and password.

For more convenience, you can also enter your password after the keyword (separated by a space). This is much quicker, and don't worry: this workflow does not store or submit any data. If the password happens to be wrong, you will see the regular prompt by the system.

Success or errors are reported through a notification.

Command used (see Apple Support): sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
