    I don't think so, cmd is an ancient beast with a lot of unfixable problems due to backward compatibility. You don't even have an equivalent to sudo in Windows. Powershell is much more powerful and you can do the above things with Get-History

  • You can try cygwin if you really miss Linux commands.

The sudo equivalent is the runas command,
used to execute a program under a different user account.



Example of use :



runas /user:an-administator-account "cmd.exe /C mycommand"

    To answer the other half of the question, you can use doskey to view or parse the command history. Doskey is installed and active by default on all supported versions of Windows.



    This shows your command history:



    doskey /history


    You could parse and push the results to runas, but wrapping it in a batch file would make it a lot simpler at the prompt.
