delete files doesn't like 'sudo !!'

[matthewfield]

My standard attempt of rm -Rf ./* failed as an attempt at recursively deleting all files and sub directories from the current working directory. Responds with some files remain. A few variations that i would normally use didn't work, so i tried the brute force approach of escalating the last command via 'sudo !!'. That hangs it.

Since commands are run in a bash subshell this will not work unfortunately. What you should see however is something like this:

bash(0)> sudo !!
/tmp/script.sh: line 1: sudo: command not found
