Hello

I am trying to create a new product-package that blocks certain websites from being displayed.
I have read that the "easiest/best" way to achieve this, is to edit the /etc/hosts-file like such:

127.0.0.1 http://www.netflix.com
127.0.0.1 http://www.youtube.com
etc...

I need to create a package that can add these lines (perhaps from a .txt-file?) and remove them again, without removing other lines in the file.
What would be the correct approach to this task? Using "loadTextFile" to read the .txt-file into separate strings and then write them somehow?

Thank you for the quick response

I have now created the package (might not be the prettiest code) and uploaded the scripts to the OPSI-wiki.
