</div>

how have others accomplished this:

I just created a wrapper recipe that calls a script that runs a few custom  
stuff. Here is the cookbook:

cookbook\_file "/tmp/ffmeg.sh" _do_

source "ffmeg.sh"

mode 0755

_end_

execute "install ffmeg" _do_

command "sh /tmp/ffmeg.sh"

_end_

However, I keep getting:

Error executing action `run` on resource 'execute[install ffmeg]'

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

How do I go around this if the server is unknown (EC2 instance)?

This is typical for rhel family os, as amazon linux ami are.

The solution is to comment "Default requiretty" line within /etc/sudoers.

You could simply try using Chef::Util::FileEdit search\_file\_replace method  
in your recipe ([Class: Chef::Util::FileEdit — Documentation for chef (18.3.0)](http://rubydoc.info/gems/chef/Chef/Util/FileEdit)) to  
comment that line before other configurations.

Cheers,  
Marco

Yea, that's im used to is disabling the requiretty but creating an AWS  
instance, it's kind of hard to when the instance doesn't exist yet =).

I'll def. take a look at the FileEdit and see if I can get it working that  
way. Is there another preferred method of running a bash script?

If you give a look to:

> Use the ruby\_block resource to execute Ruby code during a Chef Infra Client run. Ruby code in the ruby\_block resource is evaluated with other resources during convergence, whereas Ruby code outside of a ruby\_block resource is evaluated before other...

youl'll find an example ("Update the /etc/hosts file").

regex are the same as with sed, if you are used to it.

If yout put that ruby code within a ruby block it will be run during  
convergence phase, oherwise if you'll put it outside a ruby block it will  
be run during compile phase.

@Marco,

Would I be able to add this to my existing execute recipe:

ruby\_block "edit sudoers" do

block do

```
rc = Chef::Util::FileEdit.new("/etc/sudoers")

rc.search_file_replace_line(/^Defaults\s+requiretty/,

   "#Defaults\trequiretty")

rc.write_file

```

end

end

cookbook\_file "/tmp/ffmeg.sh" _do_

source "ffmeg.sh"

mode 0755

_end_

execute "install ffmeg" _do_

command "sh /tmp/ffmeg.sh"

_end_
