# This script will clear your dns cache on your mac. It has been tested on macOS 13.4 Ventura

if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]
then echo "Please run this program as root, otherwise it will not work appropriately."
exit

dscacheutil -flushcache; killall -HUP mDNSResponder > /dev/null

echo " |_'(-------) '-' "

Throw this script into your /usr/local/bin and you can run flushdns from anywhere in the terminal.
Tada!
