[Feature request] Temporary entries with auto-deletion using crontabs

[scratchmex]

Sometimes you are testing or waiting for some domain to update its DNS and you add your domain to your hosts but often you forgot to delete that entry. I suggest some syntax as parameters to the add command like this:

hosts add --autoremove --time=30m 10.12.13.14 example.com

This command should schedule a crontab job in 30m to run hosts remove example.com

@scratchmex Interesting idea! I'll look into it. Another option for implementation could be the at utility:

Actually that utility does what I was referring to not crontab. Awesome!
