[sudo-users] no tty present and no askpass program specified

[Gonzalez, Aliep]

After adding the backslashes as per Todd's suggestion the issue went
away.

Thanks very much Todd for your help.

>From the error message you are receiving, sudo is trying to read a
password but this is a non-interactive session.  You may want to use
sudo's -n (non-interactive) option which will at least give you a more
useful error message.

The root of the problem is likely the sudoers entry for uyqn0001.
The way that whitespace is handled in sudoers commands has changed so it
is possible that you simply need to add some backslashes to quote the
spaces in the command.  Perhaps something like:

uyqn0001 ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/su - dspace -c cd\
/u/app/dspace/batch/feeds/monaco\ ;\ ./MonacoTradeInactiveDataCleanup.sh

That would allow uyqn0001 to run:

sudo /bin/su - dspace -c "cd /u/app/dspace/batch/feeds/monaco ;
./MonacoTradeInactiveDataCleanup.sh"

>From the log entry you posted you may need an extra (non-quoted) space
after the -c.
