I'm trying to run some commands on a remote CentOS machine using PuTTY. I'm using the following command:
putty.exe -ssh [IP] -l [user] -pw [password] -m [Script]
Where [Script] is a .txt file containing the commands I want to run. The issue is that one of the commands requires sudo, and when PuTTY tries to run it I get an error:
sudo requires a tty
The thing that's confusing me is that if I start the session without giving a script, then run the commands from the script manually, it works fine. I've tried using -load instead of -ssh, and it made no difference.
I can't change the requiretty setting in my sudoers file for security reasons, which is the only solution I've been able to find. Is there another option?
The sudo requires TTY/interactive session.
On the contrary the PuTTY/Plink -m switch uses non-interactive session by default.
Use the -t switch to override that.
putty.exe -ssh [IP] -l [user] -pw [password] -t -m [Script]
