How do I run multiple sudo commands at once? This fails because the
semicolon ends the whole sudo command:
> sudo whoami; whoami
root
user
This confuses tcsh:
monica:~> sudo ( whoami ; whoami )
Badly placed ()'s.
I could obviously write a shell script or something or do:
> sudo whoami; sudo whoami
but is there a better way?
