I recently tried to share a BASH script I created for a cron job that edits the hosts file. I believed it followed all the community rules, but it was removed, and I'm confused about why. I had concerns about whether my approach was best practice and was hoping to get feedback to understand better or learn about alternative solutions since I found some options hard to grasp. Can anyone shed some light on this?

If you're unsure about the removal, it could be best to contact the moderators directly through mod mail. They can give you the most accurate reason for the removal.
It sounds like you might want to check out using tools like Ansible instead of just a BASH script. Those tools could provide a more robust solution for managing configurations, but without seeing your script, I can't say for sure why it got removed.
One option might be to post your script on a site like fpaste or something similar and then share the link here. That way, more people can see it and give you feedback.
Editing the hosts file through a cron job can sometimes seem risky, especially if it involves blocking sites. Some users might have felt that wasn’t the best approach. Can you specify what your script was doing?
