How do you run commands with admin privileges?

Question

How do you run a command using cmd (Windows 10) in java, using admin privileges, but without opening the program with admin privileges.

For example I would want to run a command like shutdown /i, this command does not need admin privileges but others I may run will.

Answer 1

On windows, runas (run as ... ) allows you to run a program under another account. Just runas at a prompt for help. For exmaple

runas /env /user:user@domain.microsoft.com "notepad \"my file.txt\""

You need quotes and uote escaping for parameters. but basically, runas who/where then your command.

Answer 2

Use sudo as a prefix before any command you run.
