This is so useful – thanks a lot. It’s *SO* annoying to have go all the way to the beginning of a command to add sudo after you forgot to the first time.

I’ve been working on heavily modding my Ubuntu desktop, and whatever I google, howtogeek.com comes up as a top result. Your suggestions, tips, and tricks are spot-on and incredibly useful, and I just wanted to say thank you.

Just wondering if it would be possible to create a script that would execute this or an alias in ~/.bashrc or something. I’m super-lazy so “sudo !!” is too many characters to type. Why not something like “sss” The issue is that when I try a script or alias, it doesn’t execute the previous command. Any ideas?

That is surprisingly useful, I like the way you give us more than one way to do a lot of these things, the alternative methods can be useful for other stuff too
