Doesn't really make sense in the context of windows tbh

sudo = "superuser do"

They should have made it NT-ASdo for "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM do"

Except it should actually be a powershell module so you have to type out the whole thing as NT-AuthoritySystem-Do

^/s^

But it needs to be a verb like get set do

Do-As "NT Authority/System"

Have to quote it in too... since there's a space.

Probably something more like "Invoke-Command -AsAdmin"

Which would be aliased to sudo

That's what I wxpect. But with one more layer. In the end it's going to be system32/elevator.exe which is called by Invoke-Elevation in ps which is aliased to sudo.

It's supposed to be available in cmd and batch so it must be callable directly

I was more postulating what they probably would do if it were implemented directly in PowerShell

But, as it turns out, it's just sudo.exe in the command path

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago (2 children)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Sounds like Scooby Doo's lost cousin Sue Doo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You have a /s but I wouldn't be surprised if it had a really long syntax
