No TTY present when running commands over SSH in here-document

I installed tomcat7. It is nologin user tomcat7. That said, I need to give tomcat7 sudo rights to run other applications.

I edit sudoer. But requiretty is set, sudo will only run when the user is logged in to a real tty. However tomcat is nologin...

What should I do?

giving tomcat7 sudo rights to run other applications is not advised; try to see if you have no other workaround. — , Oct 29 '12 at 20:59

The answer to your question is to edit /etc/sudoers and add

Defaults:tomcat7    !requiretty
