Of course, this is just using the terminal to open the application, so you can substitute the two lines with just one :

open /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app/Contents/MacOS/Disk\ Utility.app

Note : My disk is called "Macintosh HD" if you need to add a space you must put a slash before it (\ ).

The open command does various things, but in this case will launch the application specified.

You can open Disk Utility with an even shorter command, actually.

open /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app

If you don't mind opening the copy from drive you're booted from (so not applicable in this case), this syntax is even shorter.

open -b com.apple.diskutility
