Getting error "you must have a tty to run sudo" when we run through Pentaho

Question

I am getting a you must have a tty to run sudo error when I run a shell script with a R script in it.

Weird thing is, it doesn't happen every time. I think it is because of RAM issue, but I am not sure.

This means that you are running on a Linux distribution with 'sudo' configured to require a tty.

Your other answer was deleted for being link-only. I've not reported this one as it has some detail in it, but not much. Can you expand on it at all? May we see the fix itself in the post? – halfer Jul 11 '17 at 15:25
Its resolved now. I have kept sudo word inside shell script , that's why it was failing with above error. After removing sudo inside the shell script, it is working fine. – karan arora Jul 12 '17 at 07:18
