VanillaSoftwareProcess and 'sudo' in YAML

[Alasdair Hodge <al...@cloudsoftcorp.com>]

Brooklyn-ers,

I've been playing around with VanillaSoftwareProcess, configured via 
YAML with launch and stop commands that invoke 'sudo'. However, these 
fail over SSH with:

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

I guess the Brooklyn SSH utility classes are capable of mitigating this, 
but are there any workarounds available from YAML?

Hi Alasdair,

I don't think we configure it from YAML yet.

There's a utility in BashCommands.dontRequireTtyForSudo that should be 
helpful. But it doesn't look like it's configurable through YAML for 
whether this is called. Its usage also seems a bit ad hoc in just a few 
entities.

Can you take a look at the usage of dontRequireTtyForSudo, and see what 
you think about whether it should be the default behaviour? It would be 
good to be configurable from YAML for the VanillaSoftwareProcess at 
least (to turn it off/on).
