I think tentakel's running without this flag. In the file /etc/ 
tentakel.conf I can see:


# first section: global parameters
set ssh_path=/usr/bin/ssh

Adding a  -t at the end doesn't matter :-/

Tentakel and exec sudo ...

[Falk Brockerhoff - smartTERRA GmbH]

Hi there,

is there any way to execute sudo (in combination with a password to  
provide) on remote servers using tentakel? Actualy tentakel hangs,  
when I'm executing sudo ls -l / on a bunch of servers. Without sudo  
anything works fine, as you can see from the example below.


[f...@management] [~]$ tentakel -g mail
interactive mode
tentakel(mail) exec uptime

Do you know whether tentakel is running ssh with the -t flag or
not?  Sudo will want to disable echo when reading the password so
ssh needs the -t flag so that it allocates a pty.
