disable hosts auto fetch-update permanently

[itejo443]

• Currently, url adblock hosts are being downloaded every time.
• Cron feature .... just schedules update

Please think about .... cron feature .... "Disable Hosts Update"

• Users can update manually ... via sh "force-update" (terminal or bindhosts-app tile+/notification post button)

• Cron feature enable scheduled hosts file update, you can disable it.

Do you mean reset hosts is putting the current hosts to backup, restore it on next session. Then make another force update button?

Cron will auto update everyday, since not all user will reset/manually update hosts everyday

Let's see how xx react.

cronjob is another thing, its just scheduled force updates.

I don't understand what you want.

Let me explain state management in bindhosts

Once a user calls action (action.sh, bindhosts --action)
It will check bindhosts_state and compare it to the hash of 'config files + current date'

If the hashes are equal, user clearly just wants to reset.
bindhosts will reset hosts file.

If the hashes differ, this means it is either there is a change on the configuration or the date (new day).
This will trigger an update.
bindhosts will update sources, process blacklists, whitelist and then regenerate bindhosts_state.

Tell me which part do you want changed and explain to me how will it be done.
You have to remember that action is purely stateless so we have to implement our states.
