The main point of sudo is that it eliminates the need to enter the password for a while. Does your "something identical in 10 lines" do that?

- Jaruzel 9y agoIt's obviously how I word things... :( Why are you focusing on my '10 lines' comment? It's not a competition. I only stated the line amount as it's quite a trivial problem to solve, but as others have asked - why is it not a command by default in Windows?
- blauditore 9y ago> The main point of sudo is that it eliminates the need to enter the password for a while. I disagree, that's just an additional feature of it. The main point is that you can carry out admin tasks from an otherwise more restricted environment, so you only elevate your power when necessary. Otherwise, users might be tempted to always run whole sessions as an admin/root for convenience.
