Useful Windows Command Prompt Tricks

1.Command History

Command history is a feature in many operating system shells, computer algebra programs, and other software that allows the user to recall, edit and rerun previous commands. Command line history was added to Unix in Bill Joy's C shell of 1978; Joy took inspiration from an earlier implementation in Interlisp.
Using this command, you can track down your command history. This will turn out to be useful when you are trying to look for some command that you’ve used in the past, but can’t remember.
Command History. The Command History lists previously used commands. The commands can be re-executed and/or saved to a file. The Command History can be opened from the pulldown menu marked by a black triangle to the right of the Command Line. ... Navigation skips commands for which the entire line is identical.

DOSKEY is a utility for DOS and Microsoft Windows that adds command history, macro functionality, and improved editing features to the command line interpreters COMMAND.COM and CMD.EXE . It was included as a TSR program with MS-DOS and PC DOS versions 5 and later, then Windows 9x, and finally Windows XP and later.

2.How to run Windows OS cmd.exe multiple commands one after another, I use ncrack, commands

I manually open cmd.exe and I paste this code:

ncrack --user Admin -P pass1.txt IPAddress:3389 -oN good.txt -f
When pass1.txt is finished I paste manually to cmd.exe the second command, which contains the Pass2.txt etc...:

ncrack --user Admin -P pass2.txt IPAddress:3389 -oN good.txt -f
then I paste manually to cmd, Pass.3txt

ncrack --user Admin -P pass3.txt IPAddress:3389 -oN good.txt -f

You can execute more than one command by placing a | between two commands.

For example:

%s/htm/html/c | %s/JPEG/jpg/c | %s/GIF/gif/c
This example substitutes for htm, then moves on to JPEG, then GIF.

The second command (and subsequent commands) are only executed if the prior command succeeds.

I read the issue that prompted this, and it is a legit need, but running multiple commands is something the shell already does. I'd rather investigate ways to make that happen via the shell. Most likely this would be a platform check before building the command line that is passed to watchexec.
