powershell.exe -command {command1;command2;command3}
or
powershell.exe -command "&{command1;command2;command3} "

Examples
PowerShell -Command {Get-EventLog -LogName security}
PowerShell -Command "& {Get-EventLog -LogName security}"

Why does

Powershell -Command {Get-HotFix | Sort InstalledOn -Desc}

NOT work?

When I enter this in CmdPrompt then the output is:

"Input file specified two times."

Looks like the -command {<command>} format doesn't redirect to stdout use -command "& {<command>}" instead
