sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

通过ssh  host  cmd ，在本机可以直接在远端服务器上执行命令并返回；

但是如果 cmd 中有使用sudo的相关命令和脚本时，报错：sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified 

可以通过 ssh -t host cmd解决；

ssh的-t参数

[html]  view plain copy print ?

1. -t      Force pseudo-tty allocation.  This can be used to execute arbitrary screen-based programs on a remote machine, which can be very useful, e.g. when implementing menu services.  Multiple -t options force tty allocation, even if ssh has no local tty.  

SSH TTY 问题

远程执行命令时，SSH默认不会分配tty。没有tty，sudo就无法在获取密码时关闭回显。使用-tt选项强制SSH分配tty（使用两次-tt）。

另一方面，sudoers中的Defaults选项requiretty要求只有拥有tty的用户才能使用sudo。可以通过visudo编辑配置文件，禁用这个选项：

# Disable "ssh hostname sudo <cmd>", because it will show the password in clear text. 
# You have to run "ssh -t hostname sudo <cmd>".
#
# Defaults    requiretty

sudo: Sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo Error and Soution

by NIX CRAFT on AUGUST 8, 2007 · 6 COMMENTS· LAST UPDATED DECEMBER 8, 2013

in BASH SHELL, LINUX, TROUBLESHOOTING

I'm trying to run the following command:

ssh user@box.example.com sudo command1 /path/to/file

But, an error is displayed follows:

sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo

How do I fix this problem on Linux or Unix based systems?

Tutorial details
Difficulty	Easy (rss)
Root privileges	No
Requirements	None
Estimated completion time	2m

This is done in Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, many other Linux distribution, and Unix-like systems for security concern as it will show the password in clear text format.

Fixing: Sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo

You have to run your ssh command as follows to avoid this error:

 
ssh -t hostname sudo command
ssh -t user@hostname sudo command
ssh -t user@box.example.com sudo command1 /path/to/file
 

The -t option force pseudo-tty allocation. This can be used to execute arbitrary screen-based programs on a remote machine, which can be very useful, e.g., when implementing menu services. Multiple -t options force tty allocation, even if ssh has no local tty.

The requiretty option in sudoers file

The requiretty if set in sudo config file sudoers, sudo will only run when the user is logged in to a real tty. When this flag is set, sudo can only be run from a login session and not via other means such as cron, shell/perl/python or cgi-bin scripts. This flag is set on many distores by default. Edit /etc/sudoers, file, enter:
# visudo
Find line that read as follows:

Defaults    requiretty

Either comment it out the line or delete the line:

#Defaults    requiretty

Save and close the file.

How Do I run command without using the -t option?

You can use the su command instead of the sudo command as follows:

 
su --session-command="/path/to/command1 arg1 arg2"
 

OR

 
ssh user@server1.nixcraft.in su --session-command="/path/to/command1 arg1 arg2"
 

You can run /scripts/job5143 as vivek user using the same syntax:

 
ssh user@server1.nixcraft.in su --session-command="/scripts/job1 /nas" vivek
