As a former UNIX guy, I love the non-admin stuff in Vista, but got annoyed keeping two shells open (one admin and one non-admin). I wanted sudo! PowerShell made that easy. Just put this in your $profile script. Enjoy!
- function elevate-process
- {
- $file, [string]$arguments = $args;
- $psi = new-object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo $file;
- $psi.Arguments = $arguments;
- $psi.Verb = "runas";
- $psi.WorkingDirectory = get-location;
- [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start($psi);
- }
- set-alias sudo elevate-process;
