After experimenting with Cocoa# a bit I have started a very small project.
It's a cross-platform /etc/hosts file editor.
I have a first version running on Windows and Mac OS X (using
Winforms). I don't spend much time on it.
Features it has:
- Winforms support
- separate classes and files for file system and GUI interaction
- determines location of hosts file depending on platform
- loads hosts file
- saves hosts file
Features I want in it:
- Cocoa GUI for Mac OS X version
- import hosts file from another machine on the network
- push hosts file to another machine on the network
- push hosts file to several machines on the network
- synchronise hosts file from several machines (maybe)
- some regular expression tricks to check the hosts file format (at some point)
- whatever seems helpful (pinging names in the hosts file etc.)
I currently use a number of scripts to keep my hosts files in sync in
my home network.
I named it "StupidHostsEditor".
Yes, I know it's small and primitive, but I am stupid and lazy.
Regards,
Andrew.
